How did it start? Our first record of snowmen in our front yard is the 2007 picture below—but there are ten snowmen in that picture. We know that we didn't suddenly go out and purchase ten inflatable creatures to decorate the front yard for Christmas. It began more slowly with snowmen accumulating over a few years. But how, when and why?  Show More ⇓

If you enjoyed the snowmen, email me or text me at 480-703-4301. Even better, send me your selfie in front of one of the snowmen. They'll be happy to pose with you. (Don't step off of the pavement—they're ready to trip you with their guylines.)

Please email me if you find any errors on the page or if something doesn't look quite right on how the page is displayed. The internet world has a shortage of good proofers.

If you're in the Phoenix area and haven't seen the snowmen, drive by 3441 East Coconino Street during December and a couple of days into the new year.
