So, I want to build a snowman.
 

I do not believe that I have ever done this, even on the rare occasions when I was at the same place as snow. These are supposedly the correct proportions:

except, of course, the spheres would flatten.

Is there anything else that I need to know?

Thank you very much! :)

Snowmen should be seen and not heard?

Humidity built the snowman, sunshine brought him down.

Where do you get the 1:2:3 proportion? It's in the Fibonacci series (:1,\;1,\;2,\;3,\;5,\;8,\;13,\;21,\;34,\;55,\;89) but you could go 2:3:5 or 13:21:34.

Roll at random so you don't get a cylinder.

From the article that I linked and 1:2:3 is in the Fibonacci Series.

It is better than 1:1:2! :)

My mother has some snowperson building talent.

All you need is motivation and wet snow. Dry snow won't work, which is what you get when it's very cold and the ground is frozen.

I believe you mean ".. a corn cob pipe, and a button nose, and two eyes made out of coal..."
Also there is no such thing as gloves too warm for making snowmen.

Gasoline Fumes, what kind of proportions are those?! :)

I am not counting on snow, in fact, I want to build this snowman indoors, so my kids can appreciate him.

I was thinking three of inflating punching bag balloons with Great Stuff and then painting it white. Great stuff often has a texture, but do you think it would be flat inside a balloon?

I could always spray it with some wall texture.

Now I find myself in a quandary. Carrot or button nose?!

I think Dave Ramsey would tell you to save your money to pay off the student loans and go build a real snowman when the opportunity arises.

I know. I wonder how many adults make poor financial decisions because children.
