No winter is complete without building a snowman. We've dubbed this snowman the Mayor of Cornwallis, because he stands majestically in Irving Park in the 100 block of Cornwallis Drive. He is what snowmen look like after a few days above 40 degrees. One eye melted off and his scarf is slipping from his neck; however, this Frosty still has an air of dignity about him. We hope you have your chance to build at least one snowman this winter, that is, of course, unless you live in Hawaii or Key West!
Wanted to save this for Skywatch Friday, if this weather keeps up, Frosty will be gone by then! Since W is for Water and snow is frozen WATER, we've decided to post at Watery Wednesday and ABC Wednesday instead! Besides, if you look hard enough, you can see a bead of sweat above his brow. Drip, drip, drip.........
I will gladly forego the pleasure.

Unless the world tilts halfway on its axis, I'll never be able to make a snowman either. ;)
I like his nickname.

Let us hope this snowman of generous size will sever all the hallmark ALL WINTER and there won't be enough snow to build him a companion!
