The first ever snowman
The first ever snowman documented was in the illustration from work that was entitled Book of Hours, way back in 1380 — and it was found in Koninklijke Bibliotheek in The Hague.
The biggest snowman of all time
The biggest snowman of all time was created in Bethnel, Maine, in 2008. The snow-woman was a whopping 122 feet tall in height, and was called Olympia, in honour of the US senator representing the state of Maine, Olympia Snowe. The previous record was also set in 2009 in Bethnel, Maine, and was called Angus, King of the Mountain, in honour of the governor of Maine, Angus King — who was 113 feet 7 inches.
