"Scout Your Spot Before the Storm Hits Sure, with a major snowfall coming tonight, most may be scouting out their parking spots, but do yourself a favor and mentally mark your snowman location now. Skip busy sidewalks and aim for: An inside gate, if you have one outside your home A park edge that won't be trampled immediately A courtyard or schoolyard A patch of grass where the snow will pile up nicely"
"Timing Can Be Your Superpower After a big storm, the sweet spot is early morning, before plows pile snow into dirty mounds and foot traffic ruins the good stuff. There is nothing like the quietness of a snowy morning before the city gets up and out. If the snow is super fluffy at first, wait 3060 minutes. Snow is most packable when it's wet, soft, and sticky. Once it's packable, begin."
"Build According to Snowfall Of course, kids want a massive snowman, but depending on how much snow piles up, it's not always possible. As of now, we are set to get a good 10 or so inches, which can equal a nice, sizeable Frosty. Start with a medium-sized base that you can roll without it cracking apart. NYC snow melts fast, so anything too big from the start might collapse. If it starts breaking, stop. Then make that your base."
Scout a location before the storm: aim for an inside gate, park edge, courtyard, schoolyard, or a grassy patch where snow will accumulate. Fresh overnight snow on grass often provides the best building surface. Build early in the morning before plows and foot traffic ruin clean snow. If snow is very fluffy, wait 30–60 minutes until it becomes wet, soft, and sticky for best packability. Start with a medium-sized base that can be rolled without cracking and adjust the number of tiers to the available snowfall. Avoid making overly large structures in NYC since quick melt can cause collapse. Fix leaning parts rather than rebuilding and use whatever accessories are on hand. Photograph the snowman before it turns to slush.
