Here are some highlights from the #Snowking winter festival snow sculptures in #Yellowknife #NWT #Canada
Talented people come from all over the world, party like crazy, and create these incredible works of art. Each team of 3 or 4 carvers starts with a 1000 cubic foot block of hard sintered snow and creates what you see over the course of 4 days. This year was a little milder, but last year they were labouring away with the wind chill below -40°C! Amazing.

“It seems like a solution looking for a problem, and we’ve got enough problems that we don’t necessarily have any solutions for.” A great comment about a trio of #NWT MLAs trying to bust up a consensus government. https://cabinradio.ca/223695/news/politics/how-nwt-mlas-have-voted-in-the-20th-assembly-so-far/
