Have you built a snowman this winter?

I considered it this morning. Perfect snow…5–6” of dense, wet snow on top of a decent sheet of ice.
Perfect to roll, and the ice to keep back the impurities.
Unfortunately, we scooped the lovely dense (heavy) snow off of the driveway and turn-around. NO pushing, it was all lift-and-carry. I was too tuckered out for a snowman, but it was worth all my work if the kids (and kids at heart) got to make one.
If you know of a cool snowman pic – yours or not – linkit.

Sadly, no. Last winter killed my joy of loving winter. It was a brutal season. Winter used to be my favorite season.
One sculpture I would like to try would be snow sharks.
Ha! I haven’t seen snow in about 8 years. It’s like summer year round where I am. It’s the middle of February and it was hot today. When it used to snow, way back when, we could drive up into the mountains about an hour’s drive from here. There hasn’t been any snow in years, unless you count the fake snow on the Matterhorn at Disneyland, or this restaurant called Clearman’s Northwoods Inn.
If you live back East, and are tired of the snow, make a YouTube video that shows you bundled up, with a scarf across your face. Spout to the camera about how you are angry with the pervasive and unending occupation of your town by Winter. Walk over to a snowman and produce a knife, and behead it. Say this is what will happen to all the invading snowmen you find.

Too bad, @jonsblond. The last one you got should have been about as perfect as mine for snowmen. Tell Jon you need a cruise next Christmas, and not the freaking Alaskan kind.
Of necessity, @Kardamom, @ragingloli you need snow for a snowman.
Have you seen such a video, infidel? @filmfann
Looks like a college prank, @ucme. lol
No @ibstubro, it looks like a giant penis complete with massive snow-balls.
No, no snow here, barely any rain this year, the CA. drought goes on. I did, however, build a miniature snowman a couple years ago and out him in my freezer where he stayed until the next July when I took him out on my deck table and used him as a centerpiece until he melted away one night. haha
He was the perfect 16 inch tall snowman. :-)
In the desert, THIS is as close as you get to a snowman. It is a mining claim monument, marking one corner of a claim. The one in the picture is in Nevada and about a hundred years old. The claim papers were traditionally put in a Prince Albert tobacco can and stuck between the rocks. Modern versions tend to be wooden post with the papers in a jelly jar and the lid nailed to the post.
THIS is my neighborhood. The two peaks, Castle Dome and Little Dome, occasionally get a bit of snow (I saw it once) and other spots in the area rarely get some. In all cases it melts very quickly. Winter here means shoveling six feet of sunshine out of your driveway every morning, and a terrific wind storm near the end of January.
