PHOTO GALLERY: ‘Snowmen’ popping up all over central Ohio

COLUMBUS, Ohio (WCMH) — Central Ohioans got busy building snowmen after snow fell in central Ohio.

The first significant snowfall of 2021 inspired people to get out and make the most of the winter weather.

From towering sculptures to whimsical accessories, locals used their creativity and imagination to build their frozen masterpieces.

My child decided to be “King of the Snowmen”
I have known this family for a very long time, it’s only right that they would spend their day off of work, working! The Dodson Family from Corning, Ohio are the most hard working, dedicated, family oriented people you will ever meet! Cheryl Dodson owns and operates Dodson’s On Broadway Restaurant in New Lexington; along with Dodson’s Carpet Barn, that was passed down from her father, who started the business years ago. Cheryl decided to close the restaurant for a “snow day” on Tuesday February 9, 2021 so that her staff did not have to drive in serious weather conditions. Cheryl, her twin sister, Carol, as well as their wives Dana and Natalie, sister Brenda, their great nephew, Raphael and his father, Anibal all worked tirelessly to create this beautiful “Snow Train.” The train was then marked with the initial of Raphael and his newborn brother, Javier.

Savannah finally gets enough snow to build a snowman!
My kids (minus one because he camped with his Boy Scout Troop this weekend 😳) were so excited to wake up to snow this morning! They put their snow gear on right away and set off to build the tallest snowman in our backyard. Their friend came out to help and my husband helped with the heavy lifting. For reference my husband is 6’2, so they definitely made a very tall snowman! We live in Marysville, OH and last I checked we have 4 inches of snow and hope to get more later!
