Photos: Here's What Massachusetts Is Doing With All That Snow

Last week, Patch posted a set of photos to show all the disbelievers out there that Massachusetts really is buried in snow…and it just keeps coming.

But despite all the problems the more than six feet of snow has caused in Massachusetts – including causing schedule delays the MBTA says won’t be fixed for a month and keeping some kids out of school for days – some Massachusetts Patch readers have made the best out of the snow piling up in their backyards.

Homemade igloos, doggy snow mazes, snow sculptures and more creative snow photos were submitted to Patch following the fourth major snowstorm Massachusetts saw in just three weeks.

Here’s just a few of our favorite creative snow photos:
