Sinead with her family's perfect replica of Olaf
MOST people are content with rolling balls of snow, putting them together and calling it a day.
But one County Limerick family sure went above and beyond this Friday, when they perfectly recreated one of the most popular winter characters of the decade.
Is this one of the best snowmen in Ireland?? The McGuinness family from Pallaskenry, Co Limerick, must have spent quite some time getting Olaf just right. Here's Sinead and her dad Pat - with wolfhound helper Seamus ☃ #DoYouWantToBuildASnowman (Pic: Joanne McGuinness) pic.twitter.com/Scnj1fBuCO

The McGuinness family, from Pallaskenry, carved out a perfect replica of Olaf, from the hit Disney film Frozen.
Sinead and her dad Pat spent a good portion of the day working on the intricate creation- no doubt referring back to pictures of the comical snow character for accuracy.
And they had a big, grey helper in the form of Irish Wolfhound Seamus.
The family, including mother Joanne, were just some of the hundreds of people who flocked outdoors to enjoy the fresh air and the powdery snow this Friday.
My favourite photo to come into the news desk today! So refreshing to see families out in the fresh air together & having fun!
