Today's best snowman and where you can buy one of your very own

Can you guess what this snowman is modelled on?

You may have noticed it snowed in Ireland today, and we all went a bit wild for the five minutes that it stayed around.

While some have reacted with child-like wonder to the white stuff, others have been taking advantage of the abundance of the snowfall.

People like Aoife, Shannon and Ciara who sent us in some photos of their 'Kim Snowdashian', which we think is the greatest man-made construction since the pyramids.

It must have been a major effort to gather all the extra snow needed to make a true representation of Kim's curves. How did you get the snow to stick?

Anyway, we presume the wine glass wasn't empty for long after all that work.

However, if your dusting of snow today was so pathetic that you couldn't participate, fear not for Tommy from Athlone can save the day.

Tommy has his heroic achievement up for sale on Adverts.ie where he describes his handiwork as the "new 2015 model".

"It's not going to be around for long. Doesn't like the heat or the sun."

"No batteries needed and no guarantee how long he will last."

Good luck flogging that one Tommy.

In the meantime, here are some more works of genius we found today.
