Cool? or Terrible Tragedy?

Here are the snow boxes that crews were building earlier this week across the street from my office. They're about 4' wide by 7' tall. Big icy behemoths. Except that it's supposed to get up to 50 degrees this weekend and the ice boxes aren't being carved until next weekend.

Blurg. They've wrapped them up in silver material to protect them, but I fear they may be puddles by Monday.
