This is how a hall of 41 guys (and a few honorary members) can do some massive construction with snow, turning a normal piece of Houghton lawn into a work of art in 14 hours. Odysseus Braves Poseidon's Wintery Waves was the title of this year's statue for the theme Greek Myths Unfold in a Wondrous Land of Cold. All pictures are thumbnails.

| We actually started construction some time around 5:00 pm Wendesday, February 7th. Our site had been used by plow trucks to shove all the dirty snow from the nearby sidewalk. |
|
|
|
We worked very steadily from that time on, and except for a 20 minute pizza break at about 10:20, there were always at least 5 people working on the statue at one time. | |
|
With the occasional break, of course...
...Dennis. |

|
We used everything we could find to make the statue--sleds, odd ice formations, and even a 5 gallon bucket for Poseidon's head. | |
| The finishing touches were added around 6:30 am. |

The last scoop of snow, Joe finishes the raging sea. | |
| With only the letters left to put on, the statue stands ready for the judging. |
