If you live in the UK and look out of the window, chances are you'll see a whole lot of white stuff on the ground. That white stuff is called snow. Snᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ𒀱ᩚᩚᩚow is like frozen rain that's gone fluffy. It is used for sculpting men called 'snowmen'. The name is misleading as snowmen are normally sexually ambiguous and can take the shape of many different things that are not man-shaped. Like fiddler crabs or a pair of giant disembodied boobs.

Some people even make them in the shape of video game characters. And that is exactly what readers of the UK'shave been doing. My personal favourite is this snowman🧸 that is actualဣly a 'Snow Goomba':

. You'll find snow compacted and shaped into a whole manner of Nintendo favouriꦕtes, including Link, Snorlax, Bowser and Kirby. Surprisingly, no one's made a Fox McSnowcloud yet. Or how about Sno▨wda Popinski? Or Shigeru Miyamosnow. Or... actually no, that's all I can think of.
