"It's amazing. I don't know how a man stands out in the cold and does that all the time," Christian Greece said. "I've seen his other sculptures, I saw the eagle and the frog. And that was a couple of years ago because we haven't had much snow since then."

Rick Horton said he has been looking forward to creating something like this for two years, proving that snow can inspire beauty rather than just inconvenience.
