CSI: UPPER MIDWEST
While recognizing the danger that publicity may spawn copycat snowman crimes, I feel that this story of snowman resurrection outweighs any negative consequences. You be the judge.
Late Sunday night / Early Monday morning. Peaceful snowmen attacked in their sleep.
Three snowmen (one headless) and one snowcat, shown on the morning following the crime.
Exhibit 1. The “Darth Maul” snowman was slightly damaged with the loss of one “spiky thing on his head.”
Exhibit 2. The snowcat suffered enormous pain, when one of his whiskers were removed.
Worst of all, an unspeakable act. In what appears to be a forceful thrust to the front of his face, a snowman’s head was knocked off.
Exhibit 3. The victim snowman’s mouth fell off to the front.
Exhibit 4. The snowman’s head was completely knocked off, falling to the rear of the victim.
The force of the attack was so strong that the head fell over one foot from the body and broke into two pieces.
Exhibit 5. The rear portion of the snowman’s skull landed on his old silk hat they found.
Exhibit 6. The front portion of his skull remained mostly intact, resting face down on the frozen ground.
In a defiant act against snow sculpture terrorists, the victim snowman was reassembled on Monday morning.
Unfortunately, the snowman still suffers from horrible headaches resulting from the attack.
On Monday afternoon, in a show of ultimate snowman resilience, a new even bigger snowman was added to the South.
Oh yes, the “Snow Boys are Back” and we’re here to stay.
Future snowmen should be built solidly around a steel pole or better yet from top to bottom around bricks so that the vandals think twice about coming back after a very bruises toe or hand as a reminder that Crime Does Not Pay!
I see I forgot to identify myself with that comment – where I work, we do not take anyone’s comments seriously that have been left in writing, if said person does not have the ca-who-nas to leave their name to back up their statements!

We have considered the creation of a “Concrete Snowman” but we would need to apply sunscreen in the Summer 🙂
Ai yai yai. Yai yai yai yai.
Those snowman vandals forgot one thing… there is still plenty of snow on the ground and where there’s snow, there will be snowmen. That’s my promise.
