Winter is going SOOOOO much faster WITHOUT the snow - last year I could have made the horse sculpture in front of my house - we are at the end of the road so all the snow gets plowed here. After a winter of about 24 FEET the pile was just ridiculously high and was still melting in April!.....not that I am bitter or anything...cough
I love that this winter has been so mild. Last year was horrible around here, so this is a relief for me. My, those snow sculptures are amazing and how beautiful some of them are too! We have a winter carnival here in Minnesota, but they don't have enough snow to create any sculptures. I think they're doing ones made of ice though :)
Alice, these sculptures are incredible. Just amazing!! My favorites are the Teeter Toddler and the Snow Festival one at the bottom. We'll be seeing snow this weekend - going on a family ski trip.
