Artisans build ice castles as winter storm hits Utah

Midway Ice Castles take shape as artisans construct popular winter attraction Wednesday, Jan. 2, 2019, in Midway, Utah. A winter storm has covered cactus with snow in parts of the American Southwest as temperatures in the desert fall below those of Anchorage, Alaska. Artisans have spent the last five weeks growing, harvesting, and hand-placing icicles to create the life-size winter playground. [Photo: AP]
