10 Awesome Snowman Creations

Yeah, we have to admit, the only reason something this size is sitting on our front lawn every year is the fact that you need a lot of manpower and bulldozers to put it all together. Otherwise, we'd take all the white stuff blocking our driveway and make a Godzilla-sized snowman and freak out our neighbors.

Really, who do you want defending your lawn from annoying carolers? Frosty, or a guy who curbstomps aliens for a living? Keep in mind Frosty doesn't have a pulse rifle.

Add some class to your lawn with a snowman version of Rodin's 'The Thinker.' The inevitable melting will be a piquant commentary on the fragility of man. And also really cool to watch.

There's no better way to announce to your neighbors that they live next door to a "nerd lair" than with a 'Star Wars'-themed snowman. Add a "frozen in carbonite" Han Solo and ensure that you won't be invited over to watch any football games anytime soon.

It was all we could do not to title this one "Quick! Look over there!"

Yeah, this one was all but inevitable. But we like the attention to detail, right down to dyeing his pants blue and giving him the "Mmmmm, foodstuffs" expression. "I'm melting! D'oh!"

Though the overalls are a nice touch. "I have an overwhelming urge to kill snowman Lois..."

In case "Snow Jabba" wasn't geeky enough, here's a Lego snowman for kids and grown-up kids alike. The question is, if you build a Lego house out of snow, will his feet click into the little nubs?
