10 snowmen from around the world

MGShelton, who took this picture, said this fella was in her neighbor's backyard in Birrmingam, Alabama.

This snowmen crowd was shot by showbizsuperstar in Japan at the Sapporo Snow and Ice Festival.

Last January, NINJ4 and a friend built this snowman on the lawn of Andersen Hall at Kansas State University. It looks like this one is hanging in as the snow is melting.

This snowman in Glascow, Scotland looks like a character in a children's book or something. I think it's the hat and scarf combo. Hodgers took this picture in his front garden.

According to thisisbossi who took this picture in Altoona, Pennsylvania, his aunt's snowman frightened the cat. I think it's sweet.

This leaning guy was at Dupont Circle in Washington, D.C. before the snow melted. I'm impressed by the jaunty hat and smile. Joe in D.C. took this picture.

Although this snowman probably saw better days, it's background is truly international. ericaflynn, who took this picture in China, said that it was made by two Scandivanvian children.

This snowman in Tokyo, Japan should win the darling prize if there was such a thing. I love the expression that OiMax captured with just the right angle.

This snowman overlooking his kingdom in Denmark was made to sit in a flower box on metal-dog's balcony.

If you have more time on your hands build a snowman grouping like bgilliard did in Ontario, Canada. He titles this David's and Goliath. One commenter noted that Goliath looks like a penguin.

If you build a snowman, take a picture of it, post it on Gadling's Flicker photo pool, and tell me where it was taken in the comment section of this post, I'll create a Gadling reader's snowman post where you can share your handy work.
