Now you feel my joy! I hate snow, I hate the cold. I wish it could snow rather than rain so the snow could melt and water the pretty flowers and stuff.

i built an 11' snowman a few years ago. i know it wasnt 2007 but if you guys want to see it ill try and find the pics of it.


EDIT: i found the pics, scanned em and uploaded em. i just realized how different and young i look. thios was about 4 - 5 years ago and i was about 5 feet tall back then. the first two pics dont really show how massive the thing was but for size comparison its arms are made from regular size brooms and its buttons are hockey pucks.








lets see if anyone can top that

12 feet of snow eh? never had that much here. the most i ever remember was 3 feet high... but that was a long long time ago. the snowman i posted above was made from an entire street of snow (we only had about a foot) it took about 12 people, 2 trucks, a sled and a ladder to get it done

I've never built a snowman before.
I used to live in Philly but a snowman takes time to build.
After a few minutes it usally turn into snowball ammo.

I'm still waiting for it to snow her in florida.
I think the coldest temp last year was like 45 and that was at night.
