Description

For fun, I like to make huge dragons out of snow. I spent an entire day one winter to build the one pictured here (I named him Gary). He was about seven feet high from the ground to the tip of his nose and about twenty feet long from his nose to the tip of his tail. I inserted broken twigs into his mouth to simulate razor-sharp teeth. I had to steal snow from my neighbor's yard because I used all of the snow in my own yard. This is Gary after I made wings for him and made his head a little bigger. Gary's new head was over fifty pounds in weight and so for the two weeks that it took for Gary to melt, I constantly worried that it would break off and squash one of the neighbors who came to see him.
