Dead snowman blocking my gate

TheQueenInTheNorth · 09/01/2021 20:46

I just went to let my cat in and saw that someone has dumped what looks like destroyed snowman in my gate, I've just had to get a spade and remove it all which was a pain as it had hardened so was pretty heavy as I have a daughter who uses a wheelchair sometimes as she has a neuromuscular condition which can affect her walking at times. AIBU in thinking someone has probably done this on purpose and be really annoyed about it as there were no snowmen out on the front an hour ago so they must have brought it from somewhere else Hmm

Wow clearly just came on to boast about all the snow . Rude . Wink

LTB.

Here you go. The police are already looking for him!

@Brenna24

Those tracks look like sledge marks to me. You need to look out for likely culprits with sledges.
Just about every kid around has a sledge with them at the moment so that wouldn't narrow it down by much Xmas Grin

Yep those are sledge marks...

So, looking for possible snowball or snowman builders, with sledges, in the snow... they will probably have snow on them, maybe gloves or maybe cold, red hands...

I think you also need to consider the possibility that the snowman (or woman, snowperson?) actually was not murdered but took their own life in your gateway, these are troubling times after all...

Or maybe it was a tragic accident, he misjudged the gateway and tripped, beheading himself!

Id put an advisory notice on your gate 'snow-accident here, witnesses sought' and also a warning 'THIS IS A SNOWPERSON FREE AREA, SNOW PERSONS ARE PROHIBITED. UNATTENDED SNOWPEOPLE WILL BE FINED'..

That should do it :D

Not sure how you assumed he is a snowman.

Did you see snowballs?

TheQueenInTheNorth · 10/01/2021 17:24

For all you with snow envy, you may be please to hear that most of the snow has melted now leaving patches of ice everywhere. The possible snow person on the other hand is not melted and looks like a bunch of snow boulders at the side of my gate Xmas Hmm

I think you will never find out if it was on purpose. Weather is forecast to be less cold this week so hopefully should melt any snow.

@AlwaysLatte

If it IS a snowman-corpse there will be a carrot, and coal. Maybe a scarf. Do a CSI job on it.
Not if the ones who whacked him removed anything that could ID him.

This was a professional job OP.

Cismyfatarse · 10/01/2021 23:12

Are we allowed to refer to it as snow gate?

TheQueenInTheNorth · 10/01/2021 23:32

@TheQueenInTheNorth

I examined the "body" and it had a smaller smooth piece that looked like it could be a decapitated head but you're right, their is no solid evidence to prove this was a snow person Xmas Blush

If it has been maliciously dumped I suspect it's probably bored teenagers as there is no one I know that has a motif to do such a thing Xmas Hmm

I used a shovel to kind of roll it in our garden as if we still have snow tomorrow we may be able to rebuild it into a decent sized snow person Xmas Wink

You want to resurrect the dead?
reader12 · 10/01/2021 23:55

I’d be upset too op, that does seem weird. Could be totally random though. Can you ask your neighbours if they saw anything?

Jealous of your snow though!

TheQueenInTheNorth · 11/01/2021 14:46

Well I did want to resurrect the dead but I don't think that's likely to happen now, this is all that is left of the snow now Xmas Sad

OP posts:
Santaiscovidfree · 11/01/2021 15:29

Likely he died of snowvid imo...

Cismyfatarse · 11/01/2021 15:55

Snow accident he ended up there.

SleepingStandingUp · 11/01/2021 18:41

Snow zombie will rise tonight, his half melted corpse dragging itself leglessly up your drive to feast on your ice cubes

TheQueenInTheNorth · 14/01/2021 10:15

And the snow is back! Xmas Grin

Poor Snowman. On his way home after one too many, fell asleep on OPs path and had his head whacked off!

RIP

it's snowing a lot here and I opened the door to find a giant (snow) cock and balls in the middle of my street. Students...
