Maine Sen. Olympia Snowe looks like she could be saying, "If you don't like my politics, you can take it up with my friend here." Her friend, also named Olympia in honor of the senator, is the world's tallest snowwoman at 122 feet. Her arms were made from pine trees. Old skis were used for her eyelashes, and tires for her smile. She was built in Bethel, Maine, which also claimed the world's tallest snowman back in 1999. But he was a mere 114 feet tall. Hey, you get all that snow, I guess you've got to do something with it.
