I'll say it:

Snowmen kinda creep me out.

Well, not snowmen themselves --- just representations of them in cartoons or drawings or paintings. Frosty in particular creeps me the hell out.

I believe that the Decapitated Edwardian BeMonocled Snowman Head is a symbol for man's triumph over winter, via warm clothing and road salting. Notice that the women are not typical snowy weather boots, but classy little shoes. They do not fear ice.
