You need heavy, wet sticky snow to build a snowman. On the Canadian Prairies here, that kind of snow only occurs in very early or late winter when temperatures are just below freezing. Midwinter when the weather is bloody cold and the snow is dry and fluffy, you cannot successfully build a snowman.

Definitely needs to be heavy wet sticky snow. In Wisconsin, we used to use a hose to mist the light fluffy stuff to make it workable. It's definitely better when it comes from the sky. We were outside all day every day when we were younger

UltraViolet, we do sometimes-lve been snowed in a few times. When we get snow here it tends to be ideal for making snowmen ⛄️

I grew up in Wisconsin but moved to SC at 14. I used to play outside all day and my mother would have to make me come inside. We built igloos, snow forts, snow men etc. As an expert builder (haha) wet snow is best. I’m quite sure he cold would kill me now lol, but what a great friend so long ago…
