Snowman Competition

I hope it is ok by mods here to create this thread. I thought it might be a nice idea for us to have a 'Best Snowman - January 2010' competition. If it is also ok, I would like to suggest that the four weather forum mods decide between them who the overall winner is. Maybe MT could have the deciding vote if there is a tie.…

The prize is simply, winner of the 'Best Snowman - The Big Freeze 2010 Part 1' competition.Let's hope this comp also will have parts, 2, 3 .....

I built this snowman on Saturday, he's about 6 foot 10inch
had to build him with a good base or the kids around here would knock him down
even after all the thaw and rain in Dublin 6 there is still a pile 3 feet high of snow left.
I want going to do some more carving on Sunday but decided not to when the thaw set in

Snowmen built over the weekend. Frosty (on the left) started Saturday and finished when the good snow came. Ned (on the right) a delightful after thought when Frosty was completed!!

He's a brave snowman. His head fell off during the thaw on Sunday, but he's still going strong. Well, strong . . . ish.

EDIT - right, how do you attach the photos inline then ?
