While most people were busy building snowmen and making snow angels, two friends crafted a sculpture of a very different kind in the middle of the road.
Jokers Mark Harris and his friend Connall Beith built a five foot high snow penis when the snow fell in Chatteris, Cambridgeshire.
The carefully crafted structure has been a source of amusement for locals with many stopping to take pictures of it and laughing as they pass.
Posting a picture of the sight on a village community page on Sunday, one local said she found it "so funny".

"Chatteris in all its glory. Delete if not allowed," she joked.
Local Alan Growler later added: "I just saw some kids carting it away with what looked like a shopping trolley."
So far the post has gathered 457 likes and 49 comments from people who have seen the funny side to the creation.

The men responsible for the prank told the Cambridgeshire News they built it to put a smile on people's faces.
"We decided to make it for a couple of reasons, mostly just because we thought it would be funny and it seemed to put a lot of smiles on people's faces," said Mark.
"The majority of traffic slowed down, stopping to take pictures and laughing as they drove past.
"Ultimately, we were just having a bit of fun and trying to bring a bit of humour to the community, which most people really enjoyed and appreciated."
It is estimated around 20cm of snow fell over Cambridgeshire on Sunday.
