Had a lot more snow at my house this morning. I'm about 800 feet higher elevation. 
Lots of fun on the ride in this morning!

No no no. You're doing it all wrong. Try this:
Hi, I have a snowman here. I was thinking of selling it on ebay. Anyone know what one of these new in box premo snowmen usually sell for? I don't know much about snow, but figured you guys would help me unload this 200 pounds of pristine white stuff.
Waiting for PM's

No offense, but round here we call that "flurries".

My kids made a snowman Monday but only by using a basketball covered with slush as the base.

It's still at 99 cents....

It's just way too dry! If you want good snowman snow you have to go to where they have good premium wet snow...like Vermont. Ours doesn't even make good snowballs!

Besides, all the fun snow occurs in early spring. Nice wet snow. Nothing like a big old spring snow storm to bury denver and flood it at the same time.
