Neighborhoods across New York City got anywhere from 4 to 7.6 inches of snow over the weekend during the first snowstorm of 2017, according to reports.
While some New Yorkers took the frosty weather as an excuse to catch up on Golden Globe-nominated TV series, others ventured outside to design for themselves the perfect neighbors — quietly delightful and inevitably transient snowmen.
Here our picks for the best snowmen, and women, built after Saturday's snowfall:
