I havent seen a heavy snow in our area for many years, not to mention on the first day of Chinese lunar new year.I am so happy coz a white world looks so beautiful and pure. My cousins and I made a snowman together.The snow is not heavy enough.Due to our bad skills ,Im afraid you can hardly tell what it is.We dont have many chances to practice making a snowman.So what about you?Can you make a snowman in winter in your area? If the answer is yes, do you like making snowmen?And are you good at it?lol.Have a good day!

No ,I am not good at making a snowman . But I think ,before start, plan where you want the snowperson to go, and how big you want it to be.Gather a handful of snow and pack it tightly with your two hands, shaping it into a ball. Make one very large snowball. Make another snowball a little bit smaller.Make another snowball which is smaller still. I only knew these .

There is a LOT of snow around here, but if it's too "powdery" it won't make a good snowman. We've been piling it up into a huge hill - kind of like creating a good stock of snow to create forts, snowmen, and snowballs with. When that's packed into "good snow," we make our men. It's a lot of fun. Sometimes we just make a huge snowball that we push all over the yard. Those things get REALLY heavy! I have a "snowman kit" that comes with hats, eyes, a fake carrot for the nose, buttons, and scraves. We hunt for the branches to use for the arms, which is a lot of fun. Sometimes we make one snowman, which stands tall in the field of snow much like a scarcrow guarding its crop. And, on other times, we'll make one for each member of the family (we'll try to resemble the size and charectoristics of each person). It's a lot of fun!

I forgot to tell you guys I live in the southeast part of China. We have four seasons here, but the average degree in winter is far above zero.So we dont have heavy snow for years in our area.Im sure you must be good at it.You have so much fun playing with snow!lol
