The Cincinnati Snow Monster

Constructed some years ago with my sister in Cincinnati, this one stands as the foremost Hosea Avenue snow sculpture from my time in snow country ... which hopefully I will never experience again.



This one gets rolled out each year so I can amuse myself considering the snow-covered horror of northern climes and thank my lucky stars I am not in such a clime now.

This wasn't a flyby in snow country and I lived there for some years so I know snow gets crunchy at times and when it's really cold snow gets squeaky.  I also know when it's really cold your nose freezes and condensation from your breathing freezes on your mustache.  There is little I find in either fact which adds anything to the quality of life.

People say they like the diversity of the seasons but that's why God invented aircraft, so you can fly to the mountains and find all the snow-covered diversity you like and right where it's supposed to be: at the top of a fookin' mountain.


The offering above was prompted by a highly-commendable effort we saw elsewhere.



Kids won't get it but they didn't get "The Rocky and Bullwinkle Show" either.

It could get kind of sweet as the projection shows Arkansas being on the seashore. I'm fairly sure it's not as hot yet as it got in the last Interglacial so bring on the waves (larfs).
