Just this morning I was exercising outdoors and the sun was peeking through the clouds. Now my neighborhood is under 4" of snow. What do you do when it snows? You go play in it. I love this!

When Cameron and I arrived at TT Minor Park these two guys were already rolling a HUGE snowball around the playfield. The way it was picking up snow it looked like they were rolling up carpet or something.

You know how much that snowball weighs? A lot!

While they got to work on the center piece Cameron started packing a snowball by hand.

Here they are staging the middle piece.

Cameron helped by building the head.

So, if the middle section is too heavy to lift onto the base, what do you do? You build a ramp of course! When they were originally trying to lift it up I made the comment that it looked like the Atlas Stones event from the World's Strongest Man competition. They laughed. A little. And then got back to building the ramp.

And then you roll the damn thing up!

Nice. Now you just need to fill in the gap between the middle and the base a bit so the middle section won't roll off the base and you're good to go.

At this point my hands were numb and bloodless so I had to head home. Cameron hung around and helped these guys put the head on top and make some arms. Now that's the holiday spirit.
