I'm pretty sure many of you have never seen a snowman, except maybe on TV. So when I was driving through town today and saw this wonderful example of a snowman, I had to pull the car over for a few snapshots.
The last few snowfalls have been heavy and wet, making the snow "packy." Packy is a term we northerners use for when the snow packs together well, and adhere's easily. This is perfect conditions for making a snowman. When the snow is light and fluffy, it takes much more work to smash it together, even to make a snowball, much less a snowman.
When the snow is "packy," you start with just a snowball, and roll it along the ground in the snow. The snow adhere's to the snowball and it grows as you roll it. The snow man in this photo is about 6 feet tall. Imagine how long they had to push the snowball, and how heavy the large bottom section got as it grew. I remember times as a child making snowmen. We would push the ball as far as we could, it would grow and grow. Then when it was too heavy to push any farther, we stopped and that is where we made the snowman.

That's the way we made our snowmen too! Sometimes when we little, it would take three of us to put his head on because the snow was so heavy! We didn't mind the cold so much back then...

I grew up with so much snow, that it was actually all the way up past my knees! 13 inches deep of snow (33 cm). I built a snow fort and a snow chair that didn't melt for 3 months...so I got to sit in a snow chair every day if I wanted to. Glad you got to see snow!
