Who can build the best snowman in Ann Arbor?

By Kyle Mattson

Although Ann Arbor may not have received snowfall anywhere near the large totals heading toward the New England region, the white stuff that did cover the ground is perfect for packing.

Blimpy Burger's "snow bears" may hold the claim to fame when it comes to snow sculptures in Ann Arbor, but the Bratton family of Ann Arbor raised the bar when they shared a photo of their prehistoric creation at the end of January. The frozen dinosaur named "Dwight" had his life cut short due to a warm front that moved into town the following day, but a challenge was issued to the children of Ann Arbor, both in age and in heart, to step up their snowman-building game.

So we're issuing a challenge: Who can build the best snowman or other sculpture of snow in Washtenaw County? We're not expecting you to necessarily go to the lengths depicted in the Verizon commercial below, but share a photo of your snow creation with us by Monday morning and we'll feature it in a gallery next week.

To share your picture use the form below or use the hashtag #a2photos on Instagram or Twitter.

You still have a while to wait for that Brian: http://bit.ly/12d4EZQ Hopefully you don't get cabin fever by just staying indoors reading AnnArbor.com all day. Although we may appreciate the clicks, there's plenty of fun to be had during the winter months!
