Is this Limerick 23 foot snowman the biggest in Ireland?
The snowman named Big Bill was built by four friends in Elton
ELTON resident Servatius Antonius along with his friends may have built the biggest snowman in Ireland, measuring an impressive 23 foot, during the cold freezing weather over the weekend.

He continued: "We built the snowman from making the base from rolling big balls of snow together. As it got higher the balls of snow got smaller and smaller as we had to use a ladder.

"Eventually, when we got around 14 foot above the ground, the three guys threw up big snowballs to me as I slowly stacked it. The aim was to make a snowman where a traffic cone was used as the nose!"
Servatius decided to name the snowman Big Bill after a history teacher he works with.
The group also built a large snowman during the Beast from the East in 2018. "Our aim was also to beat that snowman," remarked Servatius.
