Do you want to burn a snowman?

At Lake Superior State University today they
will, for the 49th time, burn a snowman, the Swiss are a little tardy
and in Zurich theirs will be burnt in April.
It is a time honoured tradition that aims to welcome spring
by banishing 'Old Man Winter' accompanied by free food and drink, and poetry
plus a huge bonfire complete with snowman.
And spoiler - the American snowman is actually made of wood
and paper destined for recycling. So I still don't know how to burn snow… And
Olaf survives for another year - sorry! But the upside is that winter is
officially banished.
