☃️ I just saw something on a commercial I'd never know/thought about. [View all]

Not being from where we regularly build snow men I’d never thought of this.

They used two 2x4’s or 2x6’s to roll the middle ball of the snowman on top of the bottom one. BIG snowman. The base ball must’ve been 4 feet high.

Is that common where they build a lot of snowmen?

SW Ohio here, and with our ever-decreasing snowfalls, our snowmen are too small and sad to require woodworking. Xavier Breath Dec 9 #3

What's wrong with that one? it's cute. debm55 Dec 9 #5

I searched for something like 'sad pathetic snowman' and that's what I got. Xavier Breath Dec 9 #6

Maybe a child made it. The joy is making the snowman no matter what it looks like. debm55 Dec 9 #7

Nah, the description said it was assembled in front of the UW law school. Xavier Breath Dec 9 #13
