World record holder in Austria

The snowman, nicknamed "Riesi," which roughly translates as "giant" in English, measures a gigantic 38.04 meters (124 feet 9.638 inches), Austrian press agency APA reported.

He smashed the previous record held by a snow-woman 37.21 meters tall, named "Olympia," in the US state of Maine in 2008.

I don't know ... IMO piling a big cone of snow and putting a hat and face on it doesn't make it a snowman.

Title says snowman, image says snowwoman, snow pule in the background is clearly just a cone and not a snowperson.

Snowpeople come from balls. A big cone does not equal three stacked balls.

Man... THIS is the time period I miss the most. Back when people just did random fun stuff because they could. I highly doubt anyone will even attempt to break this record nowadays.
