No. 42 - World's Tallest Snowman

Today was "dig-out" day from yesterday's snowstorm, which officially added enough white powder to break the Philadelphia area record (now standing at over 72" of snow). And we're only in early February! The snow was heavy and wet, perfect for making snowballs and snowmen.

The world's record for the tallest snowman (or in this case, a snowwoman) was set in 2008 in Bethel, Maine. Not only is Maine my favorite state, but Bethel is a short 10-minute ride to one of my favorite ski resorts, Sunday River.

She was named "Olympia SnowWoman" after Maine's senator, Olympia Snowe. She stood 122 feet tall and weighed six and a half tons. She was built in February and melted in July.
