You worked extremely hard on your snowman, devoting hours to his meticulous sculpting, assembly, and decoration. You took a lot of pictures, and while a picture is worth a thousand words, you don’t just want a picture. You want your snowman to last as long as possible before melting. Is there any way to keep your snow friend around for a little longer?

As you would imagine, the answer to the question “How much snow do you need to create a snowman?” is that it depends on the size of the snowman you want to make.
