Sir Icicle Paid Us a Visit Yesterday

I've had a tradition since living here in Ohio, to build a first snow dude of the season each year.

Yesterday I was cold and happy inside. But I felt the snow calling me to go out and create.

It was pretty fluffy and not super cooperative. Not the best snow dude making weather, but I pushed through and made little Sir Icicle here.

I think my snow dude making skills are improving. Here was my first from a few years back: http://365project.org/alophoto/365-year-2/2013-11-12 and here was another: http://365project.org/alophoto/365-year-2/2016-01-14

This is so cute; however, I can't resist the photo from 2014 where the snow is flying around too! I think I unsuccessfully tried to build a snowman once when I was a child, so I admire this.

Such a sweet and happy looking snow "dude" as you call him -- love his icicle walking cane -- perhaps a top hat would finish his outfit and keep his head shaded from the rays of the winter sun !
