Winter is here in the northern hemisphere and there is snow in many places, including China. In Beijing, heavy snows can stop the city but can’t stop the fun, as this snowman and snow sculpture collection shows.

It's the only way to be sure the audience will recognize it as poop rather than just discarded snowballs?

Lucky poop. I'm not even gonna say it, because I know that Americans are weird, too.

Snow Buddha is awesome, though. And snow gorilla head. Actually most of these.

Beijing not only makes snowmen, they make their own snow!

While growing up I never considered making a snow toilet and snow poop... Now I have some new material when my son is old enough...
