[223/250 words]When Rocco opened his blinds that morning, he was ecstatic to see that several feet of snow had fallen overnight. His favourite winter activity was to build snowmen. He wanted to fill the yard with as many snow creations as he possibly could, so he decided to start right away. He threw on a coat and ran outside into the freezing air.
For his first snowman of the season, Rocco decided to go the simple route. He started rolling up a large ball for the body, settling it in the middle of the yard. Then he rolled up a slightly smaller ball for the head. As he picked it up to place it onto the body, he realized that he'd forgotten to put gloves on. He made sure that the head was securely attached, then snapped some twigs off of the tree in his yard to use as the arms. He frowned when he realized he had nothing to make a face with, but by this point he couldn't feel his hands.
He retreated back inside the house, then went to the window to admire his work. The snowman was a good size, and the twigs really did make good arms. Maybe later he'd go back out and give the poor thing a face, but for the moment he was way too cold.
