Wonder how long this snowman lasted? Lauren Burns Fox (right) says she and her cousin, Richard Johnson, Jr., took the snowman on a sled ride. Hope they had a nice cup of cocoa when they got inside!

While not a “snowman,” we have to give a most creative mention to mother-daughter team Beverly Ax and Kris Freitag. They spent three hours crafting Snoopy on his doghouse out of snow! And let's just say, well done!
