I have a hexayurt made from 2x4 studs and osb, covered with a layer of foil/foam insulation and tarps. http://yurtbuilder.blogspot.com/2014/07/osb-hexayurt.html
It's been in use for around 3 years and has held up well, except for replacing the tarps - the first batch were marginal quality. I'm in Idaho with a fairly dry climate, but have not had any problems with leaks or water damage. A small electric heater on low will keep it reasonably warm (60 deg F) in 30-40 deg F weather. If you're passing through Idaho on the way to Washington, you're welcome to check it out.
