Feeling blue, Mr. Snowman?

This 7 foot tall, husky snowman stands in front of the Valvoline oil change store on Cliff Road. En route to my office this morning, I snapped the bottom photo of Frosty. After lunch at home, I noticed Frosty's color had changed to blue! He will likely slowly melt all week based on our current weather reports....

Is that what happens when a snowman is in the sun too long? :-)

There must be a story behind that.

Strange. Do you think somebody poured some anti-freeze on him? I can't imagine having that much snow already. I am cold just looking at this!

I talked to the guys working at the Valvoline - they poured blue dye on Frosty the snowman! (not blue windshield washer fluid like I first thought)

Pink yesterday, blue today....what color for tomorrow ? Green , yellow.....the colors of life.

8 inches already Leif! You can have it, and I'll keep my wet, miserable and damp. It's morally good for you!

That's huge! I hope for you that the weather will get warmer for a while...

Snow. So that's how you call that thing. Think we had it here, once. Oh yes, I remember, march 8th, 2010. This date will remain in the Catalan general memory, and will pass onto popular culture. People will talk about it in 50 or 60 years, remember the day when...

Why did he become blue? Too cold outdoors?

People dyed a snowman? OK . . .
Y'all are so lucky to have snow enough for a snowman, whether white or blue.
