This link of of recent snow sculptures from the UK got me thinking -

In all my time here in the US I've never seen anything done other than ordinary snowmen when it snows. Are us Brits just more creative?

Not necessarily a matter of creativity, so much as time. Just because it snows doesn't mean I get a day off from work. Plus, we get snow so often here, it's lost it's appeal to most to play in it. Personally, I can't be bothered to go outside into the snow - too damn cold.

Snow isnt such a novelty when you get 160+ inches of it every year, like the previous poster stated we dont tend to get days off everytime it snows here. I prefer to play in the snow rather than with it, snow shoeing, skiing and good old N Michigan 'bump jumping' are so much fun.

I've made snowbears in the US. Local kids also built a snowman in the middle of the intersection near my house.

When it snows here in the Willamette Valley it's about like it snowing in the south of England - not a regular occurrence and it isn't around too long.
The local kids like to get out and make things with it - but just plain old snow men. In the pics in the link I liked "the bride", done by a family who's sister was going to be married.

I always build snow penguins.

But everything is bigger in America!
