In order for the snow to stick together (especially after removing the umbrella), it would need to be a sticking snow. This means the temperature would be fairly warm. For Red&Rover not to be coated with snow, this requires there be little wind. These can happen. (It is also the best conditions for Red&Rover.)
Then the snow has to go on long enough to extend down the sides. This probably means in excess of a foot of snow. This would probably take at least 12 hours.
A foot of heavy wet snow would be rather heavy. The Umbrella might not survive. Red holding it up might not survive.
If they want such a snow fort: A) Wait until the snow finishes. B) Shovel (or plow) the snow into a LARGE pile. C) Wait for the snow to compress a bit. D) Dig into the pile from the side.
On the other hand, the plan has the value of being an excuse to go out and play in the snow. PLAY!

Looks like Rover’s all for Red’s idea! I wonder how long they’d last in the cold.

The only flaw in the plan, how long can you sit still in the snow?

Would this work?
