Β With all the snow we’ve been having this week, it was only fitting that the people of Charlotte express their creativity through snowmen. Β We received so many photos online and on social media that WCCB’s Rance Adams decided to judge a little unsanctioned snowman competition.
When we were young, we all wanted Frosty the Snowman to come to life and make us smile. Β Now we know that our snowmen won’t dance with us, but building them still brings us a smile. Β If nothing else, it kills the boredom. Β “Getting tired of siting inside all day; wanted to do something to get out,” said Charlotte resident Darren Claret. Β Evidently, many people in Charlotte could relate. Β We received so many pictures of our viewers’ creations, an informal contest seemed necessary.
As much as people like to build snowmen on days like we’ve experienced, there’s nothing wrong with a little fort, especially when it comes to snowball battles! Β “We were originally trying to make an igloo actually,” said Charlotte resident Micajah McCurry. Β “Kind of started falling apart here and there, and started raining a bit.”
You have to appreciate an artist being able to shift his design mid-creation, but you really have to appreciate the creativity in general. Β Looking at this art, it’s all priceless. Β Though as temperatures rise and snow designs start to melt, you get the sense that we’re already over it. Β As McCurry puts it: “I’m ready for summer.”
