Many strange, alien creatures are popping up across North Texas today -- snowmen. Mix three inches of fluffy snow with a day off from school or work and add some sunshine and you've got a recipe for a beautiful day to make snowmen.
Here are some pictures of snowmen emerging from the ground across Dallas-Fort Worth today. (Perhaps some of them are snowwomen? It's hard to tell sometimes.) We started with 12 pictures, but we'll add more to our snowman collection throughout the day.
Cue the "Frozen" music. Do you wanna build a snowman? (Cue the groans, too, for the obligatory "Frozen" reference.)
A late-winter storm has dumped lots of snow on North Texas. D/FW International Airport recorded 3.5 inches, while Dallas Love Field recorded 3.3 inches. It's the most snow we've seen in a single storm in five years. The National Weather Service says this is the fourth heaviest snowfall for March in Dallas-Fort Worth.

I made this snowman at the Dallas Hi-5 using an old battery & spare buttons. I wonder how long he'll last? @NBCDFW pic.twitter.com/sNMXRCEWrT
