Igloo Party!

Belmont Abbey College students, including Jessica Simons, left, pack in the final pieces of snow to complete an igloo at the school on Monday January 10, 2011. After the igloo was complete it was large enough to accommodate 13 seated or kneeling people.

Marielle McLaurin emerges from the nearly complete igloo.

Winter Wonderland

Natalie Harrison, 9, on right, plays in a fake snowfall Friday during Rocky Mount's winter wonderland event at the Imperial Centre. Children at the event were able to sit on Santa's lap and play in the snow-like foam suds that were released every hour.

Below: Daniel Simon, left, and Ryan Agan, both 5, try to catch the fake snow--Simon in his hands and Agan, perhaps unwisely, in his mouth. Bottom: Victoria Hennessey, 7, plays in a fake snowfall.
