Have you ever made a snowman?

When I was a kid in Illinois, I envisioned making Frosty the Snowman.  What usually ended up happening was a snowman speckled with bits of grass and dirt, a cane instead of a corn-cob pipe, and a cowboy hat instead of a top hat.  As cold as it was, they usually lasted a long time though!

Have you ever made a snowman and if so, what did they look like?

    Oh, yes, I remember those snowmen, little sister. And they were never as big as you’d hoped because wet snow WEIGHS A TON! Hard work rolling those body parts together. I also remember how you would make up songs…one in particular that is often quoted in our family, that you recorded on one of those old portable cassette tape recorders. I don’t remember how the song started or what was the B section… but, boy, did you give a GREAT Hollywood ending: “A snowman…A SNOWman….A S N O W M A A A A A N N !!!!!!”

    I’m not sure that I’ve ever made a snowman, but last night Willow was telling me about a dream she had in which she and her friend Jolie. There was lots of falling down and laughing in her dream ;-)

    Oops…in which she and Jolie were making one :-)

    Yes, I made many snowmen growing up on Long Island. I also have a memory of making an igloo once, though I fear my recollection may be grandiose versus the reality of what it looked like.

    I have made a few snowmen in my life, some of them pretty good sized. My favorite though was a miniature snowman that my grand daughter and I made when she was about three, There was just a little bit of snow and it was melting fast, so we made a little tiny snowman and I put it on a plate and put it in the freezer so she could show it to her mom when she got home from work.

    Yes…growing up in MA…many snowmen, snowwomen, snowkids, snow….things :) I also remember the blizzard of ‘78 and my brother and I making tunnels through the back yard…

    I made my first snowman in January, 2010 with some kids who were at an outdoor education program I was leading. They were shocked and horrified that, having grown up in SoCal, I had never made a snowman, so we went outside after eating lunch and made one.
