So - Yup - we're getting MORE Snow here in Ohio - this was last night:

As such - there is STILL Time for testing of my Sno-Bloks prototype. 


And, now - due to the efforts of Mr. Doppelgänger - even Barbie gets a chance to play with Sno-Bloks in the Snow:

Again - if anyone wants to try printing them - send me a DM - and I will send you the files!!!

Barbie is NOT dressed for this weather, but when a friend wants you to test their product, what are you going to do?

Barbie is either sitting next to a 1/6 snobloks looking out a 2 feet of Central NJ snow OR  she is full size, sitting next to a full size snoblok looking out at 24 feet of central NJ snow.

Haha this is brilliant you guys, such good sports.
So gutted that we just don't really get much snow here in the south of England!
I could make mud blocks though, cause we get a tonne of rain!

Thanks for the posts Kurt(s).

You're quite welcome Sophie - glad you enjoyed the fodder of this posting. Also, glad to see you back here again!

Will admit - looking closer at the pics - the snow bricks were NOT as Clean looking as they should be. I suspect at that size of my Sno-Bloks - the pusher part of the design can't cleanly push out the bricks! Oh well - at least Barbie TRIED to have some fun in the Snow!

Sophie,

Not only do we get more Snow in the North of the US than you all in England - but just think of the Florida Hurricanes you are missing out on, not to mention Tornados and Earthquakes elsewhere. 

On the other hand I have never found clotted cream and tea with cakes as I have had in England in the US.

PS: Fun fact that was surprising when I first learned it,  NYC is actually only as far north as Rome Italy.
