Check for snow that’s moist and packable. If your snow is too fluffy or powdery, you will not be able to make a snowman. Go out to the snow and scoop some up between both of your hands. Press it together, and if it forms into a ball, you’ll be able to make a snowman.
- If the snow falls apart, it’s no good for making a snowman. If you are making the snowman close to a building also provides shade for some of the day.
- This is just to help the snowman last longer. If you don’t have much shade around, that’s okay.
