In case you missed Snowman update I – please catch up here.
I should have mentioned that my brother and his 2 sons had dubbed the snowman “MJ”, due to the way he was leaning like Michael Jackson in Smooth Criminal. (If you don’t know what I mean, you can watch it here). But now I think we need to refer to him as Elton because, if he could talk, he’d be saying, or even singing, “I’m still standing“.
Yesterday morning he’d leaned over so far backwards his head way was a mere 8 to 10 inches off the snow behind and by late afternoon that had reduced to a mere 4 to 5 inches. However a severe crack had opened up at the base, so I didn’t think he’d last the night…
Just in case you think he’s propped up in any way by a broom or something on the far side, here’s a picture taken from the front:
But it seems Elton is a fighter and this morning he was still there, with his head just resting gently on the snow… 😊 Surely the laws of physics will take over soon?

I reckon MJ is looking for maximal sun coverage!!! 😉 Incredible that it can lean over the far and not topple!!! amazing!

It certainly defies all logic, that’s for sure. 😀

I’m worried now that the back of his head melts into, and melds with, the snow behind and he effectively just forms an arch, which won’t have the same visual impact. I really thought the scarf would warm with the sun and decapitate him long before it got this far… But it must be as cold as the snow. The temperatures have been hovering around zero (C) for the past 2 weeks, but they are set to increase over the next few days.

I’m beginning to feel sad! Built him a paramedic, Mike 🧙♂️😊

Don’t be sad. He’s having a great time. (And he is a bit of a laid back character! 😆) But I have been wondering “What next?” Perhaps I should straighten him out. What do you think?
