Image:Small snowman.jpg I don't think this photo has sufficient focus on the snowman --Jeff 11:58, 30 May 2004 (UTC)]]

User:Silsor has Image:Snowman-and-me.jpg on zir userpage, which might come in useful here too. Marnanel 21:43, 1 Sep 2004 (UTC)

Ought there perhaps to be a blurb on the difference between eastern and western depictions of snowmen? I've noticed that in japanese-made videogames and tv shows and what-not, snowmen tend to have two body segments, bucket hats, no nose, and small arms like round mittens.. while western snowmen almost always have 3 segments, top hats, a carrot nose, and branch arms. this is probably not ubiquitous, but it's notable innit? Snowmen all over the wold are aggresive and if you would like to see one make a reservation at www.phillyzoo.pierocks.whyarepandasstillalive.piestinks.wowthisaddressislong.org.

hi..um.. i have to do a visual project and i chose my topic "history of a snowman" the only problem is anywhere ive been they only talk about how to make a snowman and frosty the snowman.. maybe could you put some history on here?? please? signed, desperate

I, too, am looking for the history of the snowman but find information on the structure. While it is of interest to know the differences of structure among the snowmen of differing cultures, I would like to know more of its origin. Thank you. 168.103.116.51 20:12, 2 December 2006 (UTC)an educator

For those of you just tuning in, that is a unicode character, U+2603 SNOWMAN in the Miscellaneous Symbols block, Weather and astrological symbols group. --Random832 (contribs) 02:41, 16 May 2008 (UTC)

Hi, I just wonder... Is the snowman a pure phenomenon of western culture or did other cultures invent it as well seperately, In Asia for example? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 90.44.71.127 (talk) 00:58, 25 November 2008 (UTC)

Also, building a snowman with only 2 tiers is fairly common in Europe, at least in the UK, where snowfall is relatively uncommon and sometimes there isn't very much. All the snowmen I've ever built were two tier. I don't think it's necessary for snowmen in Europe and north america to be 3 tier. 79.67.107.57 (talk) 14:20, 7 January 2010 (UTC)

Top Hats

Do snowmen usually have top hats? Is this a defining trait of a snow man? I think of top hats as a defining trait of snowmen but some people argue that they're too expensive to be used much to make snowmen, especially by children who can't afford such things. 99.224.137.2 (talk) 15:07, 4 April 2009 (UTC)

More free use images are needed. Any good artists? 99.224.137.2 (talk) 14:02, 4 July 2009 (UTC)

"usually made with..."?

I've never actually seen a snowman made with a carrot nose and coal eyes, although the article says that they're 'usually made' with these items. I think the original author confused traditional snowman imagery with common snowman building practices. Maybe I'm wrong though. Any thoughts? 214.13.82.22 (talk) 22:30, 1 July 2010 (UTC)
