LOL I think that's what it said on the tv. I can't be too sure though because my glasses aren't on and I'm on the floor at a weird angle. Oh well. Who comes up with these things?
I know it matters how big the snowman is. *Rolls eyes* Again, it's why I ask how anyone could know this. Whatever. It's not a serious question. Relax and enjoy the day!
 
Will someone please go out and count how many it actually takes to make a snowman so we can all be relieved? :P
 
I had NO idea! WOW! That is cool! Who would really want to do all the work figuring it out? I would NOT!
 
Size doesn't matter, fractal snowflakes, fractal snowman.

"A typical small snow crystal might contain 1018 water molecules scattered throughout the snow crystal. The mass of a water molecule is 2.992 × 10-26kg. Thus, a typical snow crystal may have a mass of 2.9 x10-8 kg. A typical snowflake made of 100 snow crystals was calculated to be about 3 mg.(or 0.003kg)"
So if your snowman is 30kg that's 30,000 snowflakes, and 60kg is 60,000 snowflakes.
