Lore[]
"My Grandma lives in these mountains. Let's go visit!" At this request, the snowman volunteered to be the girl's guide. The beasts prowling the mountain path scattered at the sight of his frosty form. As he happily strolled along chatting with the girl, the snowman thought, "Maybe making friends with children isn't so bad after all."

Name Origin[]
A snowman is an anthropomorphic snow sculpture. In North America, typical snowmen consist of three large snowballs of different sizes with some additional accoutrements for facial and other features. Common accessories include branches for arms and a rudimentary smiley face; a carrot can stand in for a nose. Human clothing, such as a hat or scarf, may even be included. Melting is a common end-of-life scenario for most snowmen.
