Easton Green, Taylor Osmundson and Abby Finley made this giant snowman on May 3 on 16th Avenue Northwest in Austin. The group used five gallon buckets to make a large cone, and then shaped it into a snowman. They used hockey pucks for the face and buttons, and two bed sheets for the scarf. The process took about five hours.  Photos provided
