Wow! It does look slightly precarious - rather like a snow leaning tower of Pisa. But I am very impressed anyway.

It fell over shortly after the picture was taken.

Teetery snowman!
If those are just snow showers, what real snow look like? That's quiet a lot!

It snowed hard all morning- with the result that we had to postpone a family party we'd been planning for months.

*hahah* Poliophilo, it's like a Brancusi snowman, I love it! Happy New Year :)

Sadly it collapsed within minutes of me taking this picture.

That's wonderful. It looks like a snowman drawn by Symbolists.

Or maybe Russian constructivists- the People's Snowman!

"Abstract Snowman"?
