From Gothamist:
Still, Trexler is committed to the concept of an igloo "tent" city in Central Park, and insists he's not alone. "Are they gonna stop us from piling up water?" Trexler asks. "Are they gonna stop us from building a 'snowman' in Central Park? I've been putting YouTube videos of how to build an igloo all over every Occupy Web site I can find, and saying 'pray for an early snow'. You'll be warm in your igloo and it takes a bulldozer to knock down an igloo! If you put a hat on top of it you can call it a 'snowman', that can't stop you from piling up water, that's not building! That's not construction! It will come, the first day it snows one person will build and igloo and then there will be igloos all over Central Park."
Where will Trexler and his clan go for the five hours that Central Park is closed?

There isn't the sustained intense cold in NY to make this even remotely practicable.
Snow is an exotic substance that I don't see very often so I have no idea. But now I want to see the video that they're talking about. About how to build an igloo.
This guy says that he's going around spreading this video to Occupy Wall Street people. But this is one of the closest things there is to an Occupy Wall Street site and I've never heard of these igloo videos. So is the Post lying, or did they interview some crazy guy? Or what? Have I missed some igloo videos?
I don't know. All I know is that NYC isn't Northern Ontario.
I hope to see the frozen dead bodies of Leftist Socialists being hauled by the hundreds out of NYC this winter!
You clearly are not from nyc.
Where I live it would be tiki huts. "Are they going to stop us from piling up palm fronds?!?"
It won't get near cold enough in NYC for an igloo. We built one when I was in Alaska and it was HARD work. Wasn't that great of a job either, but we tried just to say we built one, lol. Damn, I"m getting old.
Who needs a bulldozer when you can have all the fun of using a flamethrower?
actually a flamethrower is a poor choice against an igloo. water has an extremely high heat capacity.
Thermite it is then!
sigh And you wonder why people don't take you seriously. lol
Me? What have I got to do with anything?
Not "you" as in you personally. lol
