Our annual tumbleweed snowman appeared yesterday along I-40 in Albuquerque.

On Tuesday, crews from the flood control authority built a tumbleweed snowman. Workers said the drought made it hard to find tumbleweeds big enough for the task.

WOW! I can't imagine how big he would have been if they had not had trouble finding tumbleweeds large enough for the task. LOL! That fella is impressive!!!!!!!!

I never realized what a menace tumbleweeds were until I watched an episode of Homestead Rescue.

@PansyBoo.  The one pictured is supposed to be only 3 separate tumbleweed plants.  I find this hard to believe as I've never seen one anywhere near that large,  but thats what they said.

@Kachina624  I find that hard to believe too...I've never seen one that big or dense....DW

@dancingwoman.  How are you feeling?  Getting some exercise?  Are you braced for tomorrow's snow event?
