Libby's Crone family takes their snowman building very seriously. The quartet of children took advantage of last week's snow to construct an impressive 11-foot-tall snowman in our backyard at 368 Westgate Ave. They include Hunter Crone, 12, Luke Crone, 10, Ainsley Crone, 8, and Wyatt Crone, 6. Hunter explained that the fun activity quickly turned into a true winter engineering project, complete with carefully rolled snowballs, detailed facial features and accessories that brought the giant figure to life. They built the snowman in two hours and said it was a source of joy for us during a hard week.
