If someone tells me that to sculpt a snowman in 30 years this is not serious, I will answer that they are just boring. This can be awesome fun!
Last year we had much more snow than now, and we arranged a small family entertainment right next to the house. My husband, I and our 4-year-old son engaged in joint creativity in the open air and had a fun spending time together.
We moved away a little from the classic image of a snowman, with a broom in hand and a bucket on his head, and made alternative characters - a bearded rocker and a young punk with a mohawk.
It is a pity that they lived only a week.
