Sure, we are wearing T-shirts here in NC, but over in Hokkaido they have more snow that they know what to do with. They also have some thing called the "Self-Defense Forces" (NOT an army, by the way). And about this time every year, for training practice, the self defense forces gather up all the extra snow and make amazing statues and things out of them. You can see more of the Yuki Matsuri (Winter Festival) here.
