On December 28, 2025, I happened across a very impressive snow sculpture of the head of a bearded king with a crown on Atlantic Avenue in Downtown Brooklyn (NYC).

Unfortunately, I did not stop to take a photo (it was getting late and there were people gathered around). The next morning, I saw an article about the sculpture in the New York Post. I decided to walk back out that afternoon and see how the Snow King was doing. As you can see, he was a little worse for wear 20-22 hours after I saw him the first time (he looked like the newspaper photo linked in my article when I first saw him), but I thought the weathered snow king had its own dignity and charm (albeit he could have done without the dirt and car exhaust tarnish).

(For any open source mobile OS fans out there, I took this photo with the Ubuntu Touch camera app on my Google Pixel 3a XL.)
