Nothing says winter fun for young and old alike than a snowman!Sculpting people from snow is a pastime that dates back to Europe in the Middle Ages. Old diaries give lively accounts of townspeople making snowmen in thestreets after every snowfall, perhaps that is wherethe tradition of using a hat, a carrot for the noseand rocks or bits of coal for the eyes comes from.
