KIRKSVILLE, MO --
Truman State University freshman Alex Hermann has put the finishing touches on his snow castle, at least for now.
Hermann built the snow masterpiece in about a week and a half outside the Catholic Newman Center on Truman's campus.
“It was pretty spontaneous. I just couldn't resist. I saw all the snow, we had so much snow and I was like I want to build a fort or something and just started building and I just kept getting thoughts and imagination just went from there,” Hermann said.
The work of art took about 25 hours to complete.
“The vision I had of what it would look like is basically done. If it snows more, you know you could always make it bigger. Maybe if it snows this weekend I might work on it some more,” Hermann said.
The snow castle has been a hot topic around campus. Students have stopped by to check out and play in the snow castle.
Hermann hopes to build a different snow creation next year.
