If there's one thing that I miss about living in an area that sees snowy, wintry weather, it's making snowmen. I mean, it just doesn't feel right to make a snowman out of dirt while wearing shorts. However, the following snow artists are doing winter right with some awesomely nerdy creations.

Jabba the Snowman
Neighborhood kids found a magician's hat and put it on Jabba the Snowman. To their surprise, he came to life! His first words were "Ha! Ha! Ha! Solo." It was all downhill from there. Nerd Approved

Zelda Triforce snow sculpture
It takes power, courage and wisdom to carve an intricate Legend of Zelda Triforce snow sculpture when you're drunk. Once completed, they immediately wished for more beer. Reddit via Nerd Approved

Two-story Batman snow sculpture
Last year this two-story tall Batman snow sculpture towered over the Totem Pole Ski Shop in Ludlow, Vermont. He melted long ago, but I wouldn't be surprised if the Dark Knight rises once again to battle Mr. Freeze. Geek Mountain State via Nerd Approved

Stay Puft snowman
I tried to think of the most harmless thing. Something that I loved from my childhood. Something that could never possibly destroy us. Mr. Stay Puft Marshmallow Snowman. Actually, what I thought of was a Michelin Man snowman dressed to look like the Stay Puft Marshmallow Man. I mean, the Michelin Man is all about safety right? Reddit via Nerd Approved

Dalek snowman
Thankfully, this snowman, Dalek, is a lot less menacing than the real thing. He kept shouting "REFRIGERATE!" so I made an offering of a beer and a box of Hot Pockets. Get Your Nerd On Lolitas

Snowman army
So my friends and I used a snowman for snowball target practice yesterday and ended up knocking its head off. Then my dog peed on it. We all had a good laugh. The next morning I looked out the window and saw this. I spent the rest of the day huddled next to the fireplace with a hair dryer in my hand. 9GAG via CubicleBot

Crashed AT-AT snow fort
Apparently, this vanquished snow AT-AT was more than just an impressive sculpture. You could actually climb inside the head, crawl through the neck up to a deck on the body, then slide down its icy butt. One of the best snow forts ever. Reddit via Nerd Approved

Little girl versus the giant snow robot
Last year Miguel Valenzuela sent us this awesome shot of his daughter taking on a fearsome Valkyrie VF-1S Robotech snow robot. Here we see her about to execute a backflip into a series of furious and deadly karate moves. Nerd Approved
Castle Grayskull igloo
Artist Kilroy III sculpted this magnificent Castle Grayskull igloo complete with indoor lighting. By the power of Grayskull, I have the power … thanks to an extension cord!! Carbon Fibre via Nerd Approved

Spider-Man snowman
Matthew Connor went the extra mile for his 5-year old son by crafting this awesome Spider-Man snow sculpture crawling on a brick wall. Either that, or a burglar dressed as Spider-Man froze overnight. Comics Alliance

No....just no
Congratulations ROC, what an achievement. You must feel very special, and I'm sure you've made your parents extremely proud.
best. post. ever.
"REFRIGERATE!"
Can I hire someone to make that AT-AT fort or Robotech snowman?
you all have to come up to the Houghton Michigan winter carnival and see some real snow sculptures...
Those were awesome! Hats off to the talented snow builders!
Haha, love them!
gulp..Miami is back...preeeeety :D
Great to see some light hearted and fun news.
Too cute - however, I'm here on the west coast and I definetly do not miss the snow, the ice, the cold, the heating bills. - And Santa looks too cool in shorts and a Hawaiian shirt but palm trees with christmas lights is a bit odd - Though I do stand in awe of the hardy folks who live in those parts of this great and wonderully diverse country. I tip my hat to all of you.
Were missing the snow here in the midwest so far this year. Guess I'm the odd one. I like snowy winters.
dont call the snow over here!!!!!
The Snowman Army is awesome! Never saw that many in one place before.
Ah! I'm in love with the Triforce!
Robotech sucks, Macross is where its at. Robotech = cheap American rip off of good anime.
Love those awesome pics, especially the AT-AT, Mr. Stay Puft and the Veritech Valkyrie. Almost wish I had the snow to try something like that.
Those were pretty cool. I was hoping to see a replica of a Calvin and Hobbs scene with snowmen ripping each other apart or something like that. Now that would have been awesome.
I am reminded of the Calvin and Hobbes cartoons - especially the snowman army. Calvin would definitely do this if he had thought about it long enough.
Way Cool, I mean really.
Sends chills up my spine!
I'd much rather build sand sculptures than snow sculptures....Northern Indiana SUCKS and I've been stuck here all my life. Hoping to be outta' here in the next few years and living like a human being without wearing layers of clothing to be comfortable, in the Southwest. It's just not natural to have to live in your own home wearing 3 layers of clothing because it's too expensive to keep the temps at a decent 72 degrees (f.). I HATE IT HERE!!!!!!!
These all are incredible! Jabba the Snowman brings a whole new meaning to “don’t eat the yellow snow.”
Absolutely awesome. Just one more reason that living in a Democratic society is the best type of political climate to live in.
Those where all.......AWESOME!!!
I love this stuff, it is so fun to see what people can do. A lot better than some of the news today. Keep it up.
the batman one is my favorite!
woow pretty cool
