Another storm brings crashes, mounds of trash and an igloo
EVERETT — Neighbors on Rucker Hill knew just what do with the piles of snow that several recent storms had dumped on the region as the weekend approached. Build an igloo cafe block by block, then add coffee and pastries.
The igloo cafe was still a gathering point on Monday as about a dozen drank coffee and chatted while sleds and snowballs whizzed by. Kids and adults crawled in and out of the ice shelter.
“I think it’s a masterpiece,” said Cheri Lamaine, who lives adjacent to Rucker Hill Park. “It’s helped us meet new neighbors.”
The ice block haven may stick around for a while, offering a place of respite for those temporarily displaced from jobs and schools as forecasts threatened heaps more snow and cold.
As of Monday afternoon, Snohomish County was expected to get up to another 8 inches of snow in places. And while temperatures will warm slightly, meteorologists suggested it will be a while yet before white will be taken away from the county’s color palette.
