In Japan, snowball fighting isn’t just a pleasant winter pastime. It’s a serious competitive sport known as Yukigassen or “snow battle.” Two teams square off on a field about the size of a hockey rink. Victory comes through annihilating the other team or capturing its flag. See more photos and a video at the link. This particular photo, I should note, is from a match in Alaska, not Japan.

Prena Thomas of Lakeland, Florida has an unusual “pet” she keeps in her freezer -a snowball! She made the snowball in 1977 and has kept it frozen safe in a bread bag ever since. Thomas occasionally takes it out to show to friends.
Thomas said that over the decades, she has never had a power outage that would destroy the cold hunk she says is precious to her.
“It’s just like a little pet,” she said.
Thomas made the snowball during a rare Florida snowfall 33 years ago. Link -via Fark
When some people decide to roll a large snowball down a hill in Hampstead Heath park in London, do you:
a) Jump out of the path of a giant runaway snowball?
b) Jump ON it?
Oh, like you couldn’t guess what happened next! See for yourself.
