World's Coolest Snowmen

Few things can warm up a winter landscape like a snowman. Made of packable snow, a carrot, a couple of charcoal briquettes and a spare scarf and hat, a snowman is a perfect backyard buddy for your child--ready to play on the coldest of days. And few friends are as easy to make. Of course, the snow conditions must be right. If you can make a tight snowball, you've got perfect snowman-making conditions. After rolling (start with a canteloupe-sized snowball and roll it in all directions, packing it as you go) and stacking the three traditional balls, the real fun begins. But this winter, don't just make one snowman, bring a whole family to life.
