LOL- am I the only one?

I remember making snowmen with my kids you would never be able to hold their shape so perfectly circular, and the 2nd and 3rd levels (that size) would weigh hundreds of pounds.

just saying- it does not look real to me

From another article:

Creating the towering figure took a bit of engineering.

Mann said he “cheated” by building plywood boxes for each layer and filling them with snow.

The snow came from “everywhere” — his yard, his neighbours’ yards and a bank across the street.

The squares made it easier to climb and hoist up the snow with the help of ladders and scaffolding. The square blocks were then carved out and smoothed to create the round snowman shape.
