Chief Builder Christopher "Billy" Knox, originally from Chapin, Ill., and assigned to Naval Facilities Engineering Command Far East Detachment Misawa, smooths out the surface of a snow sculpture. Knox and the Navy Misawa Snow Team from Naval Air Facility Misawa are creating a snow sculpture on behalf of the base for the 64th Annual Sapporo Snow Festival on northern Japan’s Hokkaido Island. This is the 30th year that the naval installation has sent a delegation of sailors to take part in the city's festival. The team intends to create a scaled-down replica of USS George Washington's forecastle out of snow and ice. (U.S. Navy photo by Senior Chief Mass Communication Specialist Daniel Sanford)
