A snow day is a great excuse to go outdoors and build something creative.
And while for most that means making snow angels and having a snowball fight, others have loftier ambitions.
Minnesota local Paul Larcom has been using the state’s frosty winters as the foundation for spectacular sculptures.

The colossal statue was a labor of love for the artist, requiring about three weeks of on-and-off work.
The unexpected use of pigment on the white snow makes the figure all the more shocking and impressive.
See this statue on Sherburne Avenue in Becker, Minnesota before it melts.

Minnesotan Paul Larcom constructed a 12-foot-tall, 23-foot-long snow sculpture of a realistic T-rex.
He used large sticks as the skeleton of the dinosaur and encased them in layers of snow.
Larcom also carefully shaped all of the teeth before placing them inside the T-rex’s jaw.
