February snowfalls have made their way to record breaking numbers, but that hasn’t stopped West Side residents from enjoying the day. This was certainly the case on Feb. 28, when residents of a home on Dicken Drive decided to make the most of the snowfall. University of Michigan student Shaina Rose, accompanied by Matt Tinsey, Jess Richard and Jon Tinsey, built the five foot snow wall and painted the Olympic symbol using food coloring to commemorate the closing of the 2010 Winter Games.
