Washington Heights Snowman A Big Hit After Blizzard
In a tribute to last week’s blizzard, a nearly 10-foot
snowman continues to stand tall on the corner of 169th Street and Audubon
Avenue in Washington Heights.
Time and rising temperatures have taken their toll on
Frosty who has lost his red scarf, carrot nose, eyes, pail hat and both his
arms since he mysteriously appeared Saturday after a winter storm dumped nearly
a foot of snow on New York City.
“It was beautiful when it was first done, now it’s kind
of melting away, but it was nice in the beginning,” one man said. “It was
gigantic; it was much bigger than this.”
“He was much more attractive than he is right now,” one
woman said.
It is not immediately clear who created the giant
snowman, which continues to thrill passersby.
The snowman could get a touch-up tonight; forecasters say
rain later in the day will change over into snow just in time for the evening
rush.
