Winter Makes No Sense if You Don’t Make a Snowman. We Have Collected 15 Most Original Examples to Inspire You!

Most of us have all made at least one snowman in our lives. It’s not a big deal – three big snowballs, something black to look like buttons and a carrot. How about going for something more ambitious?

#1 Making a snowman, however, does not have to be easy

#2 This is serious. That is why Jordy Hendrix of the Montana University had to address the problem

#3 According to his findings, to make a snowman, you need to use slightly damp snow (water content below 3%) or wet (water content 3 – 8 %)

#4 Thanks to the water content the snowflakes stick together and as a result it’s easier for us to shape the snowballs

#5 Do round shapes make sense? Yes, they do. Thanks to them there is sufficient pressures exerted on the snow which makes it keep its shape much more easily

#6 The best snow for making snowmen falls at 0 degrees Centigrade or slightly below 0

#7 It is just dump enough to be formed well

#8 The colder it is, the drier the snow. As a result, it loses its ‘sticky’properties

#9 When the temperature is positive (over 0 degrees Centigrade), the snow turns into a pulp that can be hardly formed

#10 So cutting the long story short, a good snowman needs appropriate weather conditions

#11 Snowmen making butterflies. Or just flies

#12 Sometimes they declare wars at their neighbors

#13 Olaf – the snowman celebrity

#14 It does not have to be a single snowman

#15 Why not stand out from the crowd?
