Meet This Record Breaking Snowman Who Calls New York Home

With all this snow across New York State to start 2025 off with, someone turned those lemons into lemonade creating a record breaking tall snowman.

Coming in at 23 feet, 10 inches, meet the St. Lawrence Nurserieshere’s snowman. He came to life with most of the cold-hardy team who worked to bring him to life over the last 10 days:
