Snowzilla
Meet Snowzilla, 25 foot tall snowman in front lawn of Billy Powers.
With the help of his seven kids, who collected snow from neighbors' yards, Powers has created this snowman on steroids for the last three years.
"Have you seen him?" Powers asked when reached by telephone at his home, the sound of excited children in the background. "He's handsome."
However, not everybody in the neighborhood liked all the cars and visitors who came to see Snowzilla. So Anchorage, Alaska city officials have issued a cease and desist order on the building of the icy beast.
I would be absolutely thrilled out of my mind if one of my neighbors built something like this! I mean, anybody can throw up a few Christmas lights in their front yard. Where else can you see a giant snowman? Yet because of a few neighborhood scrooges, it all has to come down.
What do you think? Would you want a giant snowman like this in your neighborhood? Does the city of Anchorage have the right to tell Billy Powers what he can temporarily build in his front lawn?
Bah humbug!

I saw this in the news and honestly I don't see the big deal with it. Perhaps I would feel differently if it was next door to me.., but I seriously doubt I would find it all so bad. I thought it was neat and fun!
Depending on the type of ordinances the city has and how they interpret them, they may have the right. I think that some people need to get a life. With that said, I think it is great and if we had enough snow in our yard, my wife and kids would be out there building one.
I think Snowzilla is cool... no pun intended!
If this is the biggest problem people have in their lives to complain about, they should get over it and count their blessings!
Leave the snowman alone. Leave the Billy Powers alone. This shouldn't be the business of the city.
Have a terrific day. :)
Well, I suppose if it's bothering people, then they're doing what they have to do. But I sure would like to see a snowman like that! Too bad they can't compromise - like only have it up for a week or something.
