You\u2019ll want it a certain temp so that it sticks. You know it\u2019s good if it\u2019s easy to make a snowball. Wink wink..<\/p>\n\n\n\n Perfect the ball roll-out. Start by packing together a large snowball, start rolling it about, adding snow to it. Try to keep it fairly symmetrical. <\/p>\n\n\n\n They say the perfect snowman has a 3 foot bottom, a 2 foot center, and a 1 foot head. Make them flat on the top it will be easier to stack the layers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Whose hat and scarf do you use? Best to ask mom! Make sure you have extra carrot sticks in the house, and get sticks that look like arms. Don\u2019t forget to use some creativity, you don\u2019t need to follow the rules! <\/p>\n\n\n\n You\u2019ll want to ensure that you choose a spot that is flat and shaded. We don\u2019t want your new friend melting too fast!<\/p>\n\n\n\n Did you know that humans have been building snowmen for thousands of years?<\/p>\n\n\n\n Did you know the record for the world’s largest snowman<\/strong> was set in 2008 in Bethel, Maine. The snow-woman stood 122 feet 1 inch in height.<\/p>\n\n\n\n If the snow is good for snowmen, it\u2019s also good for snow balls. If you plan to have a friendly game you could also build out a barrier – or a snow wall – stock up on balls building snowball piles and prepare to win! <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Get your insider tips from the top snowman makers on the East Coast (bonus: how to pack an awesome snow-ball) There are few things that Bostonians do better than the rest of them.
