Pictures of an Amazing Snowmen party

There is something particularly charming, amusing, about the way that the photographer has framed this snowmen picture (above right).

Lots of images rattle around in my mind.  The pictures also make me want to go out and build a snowman or two and create a similar effect myself.  What a lovely, lingering idea.

Idyllic Snowman - Wish I was there

Sad But True - Melting Snowman Picture

This time it the truism of his sign 'I'll be dead soon' that brings a smile to my lips.  But it also makes me sad.

These snowman pictures, are typical of the humour that Will and Guy wish to collect.  Simple, yet thought provoking; every day items, yet fire the imagination to faraway places.

Snowman Bounces Back

Great UK Freeze in 1963 and Also 1947

This is a giant 17 ft snowman built by some lads in Aberdeen, Scotland during the "great freeze" in 1963. Will well remembers this winter; he was at school on the east coast of Suffolk, England, it was bitterly cold. He also remembers being unable to play football [soccer] nor rugby from December 1962 until after Easter 1963 because the fields were frozen solid.

However, 1963 was not the coldest winter in the UK. The winter of 1946-47 was one of the worst on record, and certainly one of the snowiest of the last 150 years. The really wintry weather, however, didn't set in until late January 1947, but once it came it was here to stay. Milder weather didn't return to the British Isles until the middle of March.

The end of January 1947 saw some very cold nights recorded in parts of southern England. On the night of the 28th-29th Writtle in Essex dropped to -20.6C and on the night of the 29th/30th Elmstone in Kent dipped down to -21.3C. Nationally these are some of the coldest nights ever measured in late January.

Another Funny Snowman in Trouble

Frosty the snowman was a jolly happy soul,
With a corncob pipe and a button nose
and two eyes made out of coal.

Saddest picture of all - Funeral of a Snowman

For Guy, the snowman funeral was a slow burning joke.  At first I did not see the significance of the bucket.  Once I realized that it contained the watery remains of their fellow snowman then the picture became clear.  Also Eddie sent me the funny snowman picture below.

How to Make a Snowman

Never miss a chance to build your own snowman.  If you are fortunate to get a snowfall, then as soon as it stops go out and build a snowman using the fresh snow.  The best way is to make a regular snowball then roll it in a snowdrift.  If it starts getting cylindrical rather than round, just turn it over and roll the other way.

One you have made one round ball, then use that for his head and make an even bigger giant snowball for the snowman's body.  The second ball is always bigger than the first because you have learnt the technique.

Deluxe snowmen have three huge snowballs, one on top of the other as shown on the snowman to the right.  If possible get a friend to help you, a second pair of hands is useful for both rolling the snowman's body, and lifting his torso into position.

There is a second technique for building your snowman, and that is simply to shovel the snow into a big pile, then shape the column into a snowman.  This method works well if you have lots of people and big shovels!

Snowman's Eyes, Nose, Mouth and Arms

For transforming your snowman into human form you need different skills.  Traditionally a carrot is good for the nose, surprisingly a banana also works.  The problem comes with the eyes, nobody had coal anymore so you have to improvise.  Rummage around for something black and circular for the eyes, stones or big buttons are good substitutes. 

Rather than having a bald snowman, give him an old hat. Some people use sticks for the snowman's arms, but this is strictly optional.  Talking of extras, use a little imagination and consider sacrificing an old scarf or even a cracked pair of sunglasses for the good of the snowmen project.  I say snowmen, because what's really fun is to make a family of snow statues.

Frosty The Snowman - Lyrics by Steve 'Jack' Rollins and Steve Nelson

Frosty the snowman was a jolly happy soul,
With a corncob pipe and a button nose
And two eyes made out of coal.
Frosty the snowman is a fairy tale, they say,
He was made of snow but the children
Know how he came to life one day.

There must have been some magic in that
Old silk hat they found.
For when they placed it on his head
He began to dance around.
O, Frosty the snowman
Was alive as he could be,
And the children say he could laugh
And play just the same as you and me.

Thumpetty thump thump,
Thumpety thump thump,
Look at Frosty go.
Thumpetty thump thump,
Thumpety thump thump,
Over the hills of snow.

In 1950 Gene Autry and the Cass Country Boys recorded 'Frosty the Snowman'.  Other artists have made cover versions including Ella Fitzgerald and The Jackson 5.

Some versions have an extra verse.

Frosty the snowman knew
The sun was hot that day,
So he said, 'Let's run and
We'll have some fun
Now before I melt away.'
Down to the village,
With a broomstick in his hand,
Running here and there all
Around the square saying,
Catch me if you can.

He led them down the streets of town
Right to the traffic cop.
And he only paused a moment when
He heard him holler 'Stop!'
For Frosty the snow man
Had to hurry on his way,
But he waved goodbye saying,
'Don't you cry,
I'll be back again some day.'

Thumpetty thump thump,
Thumpety thump thump,
Look at Frosty go.
Thumpetty thump thump,
Thumpety thump thump,
Over the hills of snow.

Frosty the Snowman is a popular Christmas song written by Steve 'Jack' Rollins and Steve Nelson and recorded by Gene Autry and the Cass County Boys in 1950. Like Jingle Bells and several other songs about winter, Frosty the Snowman is considered to be a Christmas song despite not mentioning Christmas at all. It was written after Gene Autry recorded 'Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer' and the single sold 2 million copies.
