My Snowman can Beat Your Snowman
Uploaded: December 12, 2012
He's in my neighbor's backyard and I shot him from just outside my yard's side gate, 75 feet away from him . Used the telephone & electric lines to give an idea of his GINORMOUS SIZE 40 something feet tall or more.
If you were wondering YES HE IS A TRAFFIC STOPPER !! As Christmas approaches cars full of kids clog the street in front of his home & mine as well as the street between our homes. All
wanting to see & get a picture of the SUPER SNOWMAN . He was once a commercial display
who was rescued when he was going to be sent
to the Dump .
Makes for LOTS OF JOY FOR KIDS As well as EVERYONE ELSE !!!

Well, Melodie, you can come to my house! We don't even have snow, let alone snowmen.Michelle Alton December 12, 2012
Wow...Mel has MY aversion for clowns (and one tried to molest me when I was a day camp counselor about 50 years ago). But SNOWMEN are HARMLESS, Mel! This one is spectacular, and your shot, Jack, shows vividly just how enormous he is! Bravo! But where is he stored for the REST of the year? I wonder. #10461415Colette M. Metcalf December 12, 2012
Love the story behind this great image! The biggest snowman I have ever seen! Love it! #10461516Jyri Vissak December 12, 2012

cool capture. #10461572Monnie Ryan December 12, 2012
Whoa Nelly! Glad he's up your way - if he were around here, I'm afraid somebody would have taken potshots at him by now. Those inflatable displays have a way of getting shot down rather quickly. #10461673Tiia Vissak December 12, 2012
a cool find! #10461727Mike Clime December 12, 2012

Crikey! What a huge snowman, Jack! I can image people coming from near and far to view this giant! #10462098Barbara Waldoch December 12, 2012
Bigger is better, yeah!I was about 3m away, in the kitchen. He wrecked my flowers and didn't take a bath. #10462170
