These are the wannabe snowmen with "Sprouts In Their Eyes".
With Greater Manchester transformed into a winter wonderland, hundreds of snowmen (and other animals) have appeared in the gardens and sidestreets.
The MEN has invited readers to send in their snowman pictures to compete in our Frosty Factor competition - to find the best snowman of the big freeze.
So far more than 80 pictures have been sent in with a dalek, totem pole, cat and dog among the many traditional snowmen.
See all the pictures by clicking on our picture gallery (right)
We have four tickets for Chitty Chitty Bang Bang at the Palace Theatre which will go to the creator of the best snowman in the region.
There is plenty of time to make a snowman and send in a picture - the weathermen are forecasting the snow could stay for two weeks.
Once the pictures are all in we will draw up a shortlist which you can vote on. If there is any picture you think should be in contention, submit a comment below.
The tickets for Chitty Chitty Bang Bang are for the performance on 1st May 2010 at 7.30pm. Terms and conditions.
If you want to send your picture, email it to website@men-news.co.uk or if you post it on twitter, help us find it by using the hashtag #mentravel

What a brilliant picture artistic licence is still alive and kicking, I hope hes not cold calling someone selling double glazing.
Saw a Smowman in Ashton Asda near the carrots - picking his nose!
Wow that Snowbarian is Ace!!!
NO WAY!!! That Snowbarian is Ace look at the hair!!!
Yeah wonderful, but would still rather build a sandcastle on the beach in 35deg heat that a snowman in the freezing cold thats going to turn to sludge.
I hope suitable H & S risk assessments were implemented before work started.
The Barbarian one is like a work of art! How on earth did he get that detail in the face - very impressive!! Ali, Manchester
Snowbarian Conan one is fabulous!! The detail! How did he do it? Like a work of art!
I think they're all great....I'm useless at making snowmen!!
Really like the Snow Cat by Jocelyn Wright. It is just purrrrfect!
It's too cold to make snowmen so I've kept tabs on my eight year old, he's built me two now. He's never seen this much snow neither has my eighteen year old for that matter. Last time I saw snow this deep I lived in Glasgow years and years ago lol
The Snow Cat by Jocelyn Wright is Awesome!!!
What a great piece from the M.E.N.! It's great to see people enjoying themselves in this way. I enjoyed the photos, but maybe the Snowman in the Telephone box could be a hint as to where the old drop a coin in phone is going.
My favourite was the one on Addison road in Irlam.
Love the snowcat by Jocelyn Wright. Nice whiskers touch!
I liked the snowcat... until he lost one of his lives.
All very impressive. Should add to your CV - industrious, creative and imaginative! Where do you go from a giant snowman in Irlam though? It will be a hard act to follow, like that difficult second album.
Well done to all of them!
Iggle piggle has definitely got the frosty factor. His creator looks delighted with her snowman!
Please send us your Snow, Were in a drought and its 43c here In Adelaide South Australia
Some snowmen are getting a frosty reception in Salford. Apparently the council are sending their men out to demolish them!
Like the snowman looking through the patio window.
