The biggest snowman I ever built

Postby Loafing Smurf » Tue Jun 08, 2004 11:18 am

Heres a picture of the biggest snowman I ever built. I think it was a bit over seven feet tall. If I had a magical hat, I could have brought it to life.

Woody's looks like a "part" of a snowman, LOL!  ;D

Which reminds me.....
Back when my brother and I were about 12 and 15 respectivly, we graced our neighbors front lawn with anatomically correct snowpeople.
Wonder in mom still has photos of it?
We would have never been caught but my brother didn't want one of the ladies to get cold hands and shared his mittens with her, yes mom had our names written on all our clothing! LOL  ;D ;D ;D ;D

I've never built a snowman :(

Kinda hard when it only snows once every 10 years, especially if the snow melts BEFORE it touches the ground ;D  But we sure get lot's of rain ::)

According to the Guinness Book of Records 2002, the world's largest snowman was 113ft 7.5in tall (34.63m). It was completed on Feb 17th 1999 after 14 days of building. It was constructed in Bethel, Maine. It took until June 10th of that year to melt.

Most people would think WA would get alot of snow but it really doesn't (except in the mountains. Mt. Baker is the snowiest place on earth!  :o). People go crazy here over one inch  ::). I think the tallest snow man I have built is 3' but I have made a snow ball that was 4 or 5 feet tall Too bad it was too heavy to throw  ;D :D

I think Woodlouse snowman was more stable...because that picture was moments before it fell.


That Guinness snowman is big.
