IT’S NOT OFTEN that we get enough snow to build an 11ft tall snowman.
In fact, the last time that was possible may have been around 21 years ago. A DailyEdge.ie reader named Anne sent us this photograph from when her 5-year-old brother’s snowman was featured in the Leinster Leader way back in 1997.

Pretty close. Anne told DailyEdge.ie that a stepladder was employed to ensure that the snowman was as tall as possible. The 1997 snowman was around 8ft tall, while 2018′s snowman was 11ft tall, with his hat included.
