These were some of dozens of snowmen decorating Tonganoxie Sunday.
This group was just getting started on their snow family, which even included a snowman of their dog, Shay. Pictured from left are, Alexis Guinn, Brandon McKinsey, Amy Guinn and Baylee Whitson.

Point of View
What’s the best way to spend a snow day?
Shovel your driveway and paths, check neighbors’ driveways and then grab all your closest little ones and find the biggest sledding hill. Snowmen also are a must. Snow days are a great time to catch up on missed shows and much-needed rest. I love snowdays, they haven’t changed one bit even as an adult, although I am sure not all working adults can say that, but I am happy I can. I was excited to see the snowmen and other snow sculptures throughout the Lawrence and Kansas City metro areas.
