The snow brought in by the Beast from the East might have halted some people’s plans but it has encouraged the creative side of others.
Yes, snowmen have been the preserve of those afflicted by the chilly stuff for generations, and in 2018 the efforts of the public are as creative as ever.
Here are nine sculptures that prove you don’t have to stick to the stereotype when it comes to snow.
1. Kylo Ren
