Show Us Your Snowman [Photos]
It s winter time in Iowa, and we just made it through the 2nd snowiest January of all time, with another 2-4 inches of the white stuff on the way Thursday followed by frigid cold temperatures. You ve probably heard the saying, when life gives you lemons, you make lemonade . I have a new saying that I just made up, when life gives you snow, you make a snowman .
A few weeks ago, we told you about a family in central Iowa that made headlines for making a giant snowman in their front yard. Karen Batchelor Peters from Ankeny posted photos on her Facebook page showing a giant 15-foot tall snowman that her family built.

Karen Batchelor Peters from Ankeny, Iowa posted photos on her Facebook page showing a massive snowman her family built. As you can see from the post, the beast measured 15 feet tall. That was tall enough to catch the attention of KCCI who shared a picture of the monstrous creation.
If you re wondering just how they made a snowman this big, it appears that they used ladders to reach as the snowman got taller. The family, and even some friends, took part in helping construct the giant. You can see some pictures and video of different points throughout the building process in the post below.
