The Proper Technique to Making a Snowman

 There are many ways to build a snowman. The key essential would be the proper type and amount of snow. We have been blasted this winter with snow. It came in huge amounts and it was so cold that it was powdery light, which as any body versed in snow man making is not the right type.

Snowmen require the proper degree of wetness in order to properly be rolled and also to be shaped. But more importantly, it requires the determination to do it.

We got snow Saturday evening, and hopefully it will be the last snowfall for the year. This was not only the right consistency, it was also the right amount for a first time novice. 

 

Saturday was the 2nd birthday for Grandson Raphael, and even though we have had bunches of snow, it wasn't at all proper for someone of his limited years.

This last, hopefully snow storm was just right.

So naturally, first we must get bundled up properly, and have enough mobility to do the work needed.

Once outside, the snow has to be gathered, and if 1 shovel isn't enough, them maybe 2 is better.

 

 

 

Where's my helper???

Maybe take a few moments to throw a few snowballs, after all it is spring training season and we have to get in shape for the season.

Well, the work is done, and nothing else to do but stand back and admire the handiwork

This will have to do until next year. Maybe we can get the camera away from Grandpa Ed and get him to lend a hand

Looks like you had a great time with your grandson!  I haven't built a snowman since I was a kid and we actually had enough snow this year to do it .(TEXAS) I wish I had taken advantage of it!
