Six Foot Snowman!

Quartz's picture

With some help from Fopsworth, Leela, and our neighbor, I made a 6'10" snowman last night! XD

By the time I was finished and ready to take picutres, though, it was really dark out. (We got kind of a late start.) So I took some long exposure pictures!

Good thing, too, because by morning it had lost 5 inches, and was leaning forward a little. We had known the weather was gonna be a bit warmer.

This is potentially the biggest/best snowman we've ever made! XD

*lol*

Yeah, looking at it again later, it's made impressive progress in its weary slouch.

Not to mention all of the black walnuts are falling out one by one. (In that last picture you can actually zoom up and see that the middle one from his mouth has already bailed. XD)

But I'm kinda in love with those tripod shots - the long exposure night photos. I've never done them before, and they turned out so well! XD Thanks Oz for helping me out with those!

It almost reminds me of some of the breathtaking photos of HonkeyDorey's! Not quite though... XD

awesome!!

Me and my brother started to build a snowman and we wanted to do something different. We started to make it into the head of a wolf that was howling to the sky eventually it got ruined and turned into a fort. It was a blast!!! :-D

by the time I saw it, it was pretty much a very impressive pile of half-melted slush ... but at least there was cake :-D

The normal ones are boring. They all run-off screaming toward sanity. We just sit there at laugh at their sad attempts.

Mwahaha

I made a bigger one with my friend! It was about 7 feet, but since it was made on the spot after a big sudden snowfall, we had no coal/carrots :(.

We made steps out of smaller snowballs to get the head up XD.

But I still like your snowman. Good thing you got a shot before morning. "NOOOOOOOO! I'm melting!" - wicked witch :P

Are you going to eat that last piece of cake?

Say what you want, but I will be eating that cake.

I need a siggy...

Oh wait.

Impressedness

Wow, you used up all the snow in your yard X-D. Awesome. No one helps me make snowmen anymore, Ice is in Germany, Sleetpunk is too small, Mom and Dad jus wont, so my snowmen are never over 5 feet. I just can't lift a bigger snow body and head. :-(( I'm weak!

And now it's too late cause all the snow's gone!

---------------

I don't need an awesome siggy! Who says I need a siggy! You there! You think I need a siggy? Oh really?! You wanna go?!

How much snow????

Dude, how much snow did you guys get?? I mean, we got like 2-3 in. up here where I go to college, but you must have gotten more snowfall than that to create a snowwoman of such impressive proportion!

Hurrah!

I saw this sweet snowman yesterday, but it was a bit lopsided... but it sill looked good!

And Slushie... I'll make a snowman with j00!

Why do people ask if they can "borrow" a piece of paper? Do they really plan on returning it?

Aisling's picture

I know what you mean.

I rolled a snowball that got big enough to reach my hip. But I couldn't roll it further because it was just too heavy. So a scrapped it. There's no way I could make a good snowman on my own.

Aisling's picture

Hmm

I don't know how much we got. Maybe four inches? But it was the perfect consistency. Very sticky. We'd roll a snowball and it would pick up everything. We left grassy paths everywhere.

Quartz's picture

Yeah

If it hadn't been for the help I had, I was gonna go find some cinder blocks and make a ramp! It woulda been awhile before I had it up. XD

I'm gonna see about getting another few pictures of it now... It's pretty pitiful.

Cool. ^_^ Yeah, all the snowmen around seem to be pulling a Tower of Pisa. It got warm pretty fast after the good snowfall.

I'm hungry......

The snowman's head fell off today...

P.S: The subject has nothing to do with the post, I was just REALLY hungry when I wrote it!

that was random!

Your sig is proof of your randomness Leela. You learn well young grasshopper.

We had about 5 inches but it's litterally all melted now. It was 60 degrees today! The weather here is pretty random too...

Our climate

Typical of Ohioville weather to have 5 inches of snow one day then have it all melt in 60 degree warmth the next. In December!

Us Ohioians, our weather, and our goat paths. We're happy.
