SYDNEY, N.S. --
Some old fashioned winter fun snowballed into something much bigger for a Sydney, N.S. family earlier this month.
When a major snowstorm hit Sydney on Jan. 2, 11-year-old Colby Morrison and his parents took advantage by building a snowman that towered more than three metres tall.
“Eleven feet tall and then the snow melted,” said Colby.
“By the time we rolled it up, there wasn’t any snow left in our driveway, and we have a fairly large driveway,” says Colby’s father Kevin.
Kevin says building a snowman that size was both family effort, and a feat of engineering.
