Some locals built a seven-foot-tall snowman in Memorial Park on Saturday. The weekend weather was mild and sunny after Friday's winter storm, but the threat of severe winter weather looms again next week.

The snowman at Memorial Park had pinecones for eyes, nose and buttons, a dried grass mouth, and pine greenery for hair. This seven-foot-tall snowman also had branches for arms — and even had a face on either side!
