Words & Pictures No. 6 - The Mating Habits of the Arctic Pygmy Snowman

Like salmon swimming upstream to spawn, every January the Arctic Pygmy Snowman heads south. Furthur and further south the snowmen march stopping only once they have reached a climate warm enough to begin melting their frosty epidermis. It is here that the snowmen begin to reproduce. For many years it was a mystery how this reproduction took place, but scientists now theorize that the evaporating snowman epidermis rises into the upper atmosphere where it mingles with the evaporate of other snowmen. Wind currents blow the vapor northward where it eventually comes down as frozen precipitation. This snowy residue builds up and is eventually formed into a new snowman. From there, the cycle continues.
