    Well, I've never heard of that one before, In french, bonhomme de neige is snowman. And the big white thing dancing in the streets of Quebec city is called " Le Bonhomme Carnaval"

    I was going to say something about that too, but you beat me to it. Must be a VERY OLD picture.

    You know I think my grandmother in Norfolk called the hat on her snowmen a bonhomme as well.
    And I was wrong about the Bonhamme Carnaval. Probably 'cause I always just call him Bonhomme.

    Either way, it's a great winter event!
