It's not just the city's last snow banks that are desperately trying to survive the warm[er] weather—one Long Island family says they won't let their beloved snowman go down without a fight. Which...sort of sounds like the B-plot of a recent Disney hit, should we pull up the soundtrack real quick?
According to CBS 2, the Fregoe family in Massapequa has been imploring people to help them maintain their 9-foot-tall IRL Olaf, even turning to Facebook in hopes of getting snow donations, as if we didn't have enough of that this year. "Our goal is to keep the snowman alive, and to continue to make people happy and smile as they drive by their cars and wave," patriarch Mike Fregoe told reporters.
Apparently, the Fregoes have already gotten some free snow, along with a stuffed snowman (courtesy of the local Sanitation Department). Of course, only so much snow can keep a snowman going without the magical help of Idina Menzel, and it doesn't look like the Fregoes are expecting any miracles. "My young daughter Julia asked me about it and we decided to do is when he gets smaller we’ll take a snowball and put it in the freezer as a snow-seed of sorts for next year,” Fregoe told PIX 11. Sorry, snow dude, you're still a dead man.
