Recently, Savannah had the privilege of having a multi-day snowfall. Savannahians flocked outside to take to snowball fights, or most importantly, the construction of dozens of snowmen. Our Chief-Snow-Critic shares some of their thoughts on snowmen found around town.

We Get It

Bold and unapologetic, this snowman screams “safety first” with a traffic cone hat that doubles as a beacon of practicality. The Hufflepuff-ish scarf adds a touch of seasonal flair, but its overall vibe teeters between an avant-garde art installation and a desperate plea for attention.

Twenty-Eight Inch Waist

This snowman embodies a curious mix of effort and improvisation. Its uneven shape and loosely placed features suggest a hurried creation, while the leaf-and-stick accents evoke an almost rebellious aesthetic. A whimsical attempt that leaves one wondering about the story behind its quirky design.

Legally Questionable Snowman

This snowman exudes classic winter charm! Its three-tiered design, twig arms, and carrot nose are delightfully traditional, while its expressive face adds personality. However, this creation closely resembles “Olaf” from the popular film, “Olaf’s Frozen Adventure.” Will The Walt Disney Company send the artist a cease-and-desist order?

Too Happy For His Own Good

Bansky who? I don’t even know who that is, but it makes me sound cultured. This pint-sized snow baby rightly claims its spot on a weathered bench, redefining what it means to “take it easy.” With stick arms and a wobbly grin, it’s a groundbreaking display of effort.

Abominable Snow-Thing

This snow-thing takes an unconventional approach to winter sculpture, using foliage as hair in a creative yet puzzling decision. They can’t grow hair. With a lime for a mouth and a straw stabbed into its face (an allusion to Frosty’s iconic pipe), it certainly presents a unique and nearly classic vision. However, it falls short, feeling more experimental than remarkable. Its expression remains oddly indifferent. And we don’t know what that second carrot is all about.

This One is a Bird

This snowman—if we dare call it that—perches awkwardly, resembling a misshapen bird. While some might applaud its abstract ambition, its lack of detail and feeble stick base make it feel more like a half-hearted experiment than a genuine work of winter artistry. It’s a bird. Not a man. Snow-man. Come on.

That’s Actually Not Bad

With a stylish scarf and straw hat, this snowman exudes a relaxed, welcoming vibe. Its clean construction and thoughtful accessories highlight a sense of care and warmth. The twig arms add a rustic touch, while its placement enhances its role as a festive greeter. It’s almost perfect.

The End of All Things

This snowman is a tiny, brilliant work of art. With just a patch of snow and a single carrot nose, it captures the bittersweet essence of our three-day winter. Simple, humorous and oddly endearing, it is a fleeting symbol of seasonal charm.
