Longtime readers of Picture This will know that I love snow, and I love sharing images from the collections related to snowy weather. I’m especially inspired to do so when the white stuff is falling outside my window and creating a winter wonderland. We recently had a good amount of snow around the nation’s capital – our first significant storm in a few years.
While I was outside shoveling out, I tested this snow like I did as a kid, to see if it was “snowball snow,” that perfect consistency to pack together for snowballs and other snow structures. The action made me reflect on winters past when my brothers and I built snowmen and forts and, of course, had snowball fights. I was happy to find a great selection of photos of snowmen completed, as well as under construction, as seen below:

Wonderful photos.
One question: was it “snowball snow?” You set us up but never finished that thought! 😉
Sharon,
When I tested it, the snow was too dry and fluffy to pack, but others in the area did manage snowball fights, so it worked for them!
