Back in the UK when I was a kid in the 80s, snowmen were always built with two balls. If I had to draw a picture of a snowman, I would always draw it with two balls — one for the head, one for the body — that was the snowman stereotype. Recent photos from home show that the three-ball snowman has arrived in the UK, I guess due to US movie influence. Someone needs to make one of those terrible maps that always pop up in my Facebook feed with the snowy parts of the world divided into those that traditionally made two-baller and those that traditionally made three-baller snowmen!

Woah! This changes everything! No way! Haha. Where I grew up it only snowed once and only at higher elevations where people still lived so I have zero reference points!
