Back in December 2008, Mother Nature decided to dump a few inches of snow on Oregon, and another four piled up while my kids and I built a huge igloo in our front yard. I pulled out the camcorder after it was finished and recorded a few minutes of video to capture the moment.
Here's the video:
We used recycle bins packed with snow for bricks, each row set in a couple of inches for a dome effect. Then we capped off the top with a piece of plywood that we covered with snow.
How to post a YouTube video on Facebook
This was the original reason I wrote this post back in 2008 — I wanted to share the igloo video with friends. The how-to part is shorter now, because Facebook handles YouTube links automatically:
- Copy the YouTube video URL (or the short link, like
https://youtu.be/IZ2oyvVyFzQ). - Paste it directly into the "What's on your mind?" box on Facebook.
- Facebook auto-expands the link into a video preview. Add a caption if you like, then click Post.
That's all there is to it. Now, where's that bottle of Advil for my back?
