Texas Natives Carve Bar Out of New England Snow

Boston's winter blast goes on ice, with a twist

New England's winter blast is serious business, but there's been no shortage of horseplay.

Boston residents Christopher Haynes and Kristy Nardone carved a cozy little bar out of the 9-foot mound of snow in front of their house.

The Texas natives, who posted pictures of the bar on Facebook, say they held a gathering with neighbors over the weekend, serving up Moscow Mules of vodka, ginger beer and lime juice. With the snow not melting anytime soon, Haynes hopes to add seating.

He says he and Nardone have "been shoveling and shoveling, so it was nice to at least have some fun with it -- to make something creative, instead of just dealing with ice dams and huge icicles and the other annoying stuff that comes with all this snow."
