WAUWATOSA, WI — With the round of unseasonably warm weather we've been having, you would think it would be hard to make something out of the rapidly-melting snow.

Yet one Wauwatosa family has soundly beaten the odds, producing a head-turning snow fort in their front yard.

According to a CBS 58 report, the family of Joe and Joey Kral spent 30 hours making the fort. It has a place to sleep, and even decorative lighting.

"Every time it snows, me and Joey always go outside to check and see if there is packing snow, and if it's packing snow we get excited, and when he gets out of school, he comes home and we start to build," Joe Kral of Wauwatosa said in a WTMJ report.
