With abundant snow and temperates dropping into the single digits, some Montgomery residents are making the best of unfavorable conditions. Rather than limiting activities to the indoors, some are embracing the chill.
The Andrew Family of Sunset Road in Skillman built an iconic landmark for all to see on their country road.
Nina Andrew told The Montgomery News: "We built a huge snowman. He's 11-foot tall. We had a blast making him. He took about two hours to build."

Not to be outdone, Beth Coogan of Belle Mead, a retired school psychologist, proved that adults can have as much fun as the kids — maybe even more.
“Our inspiration was a celebration of Bob Weir's life. He passed on January 10,” she said.
Beth, along with her husband Tom and friend John Parker of Princeton built at least 16 snowmen on the front lawn of Coogan's home on Bridgewood Court. Next, t-shirts and cutoff jeans appeared. Looks like they attended a few Grateful Dead concerts!
