1. Batman of Boston by George Li
In Boston’s Chinatown, George Li turned a massive pile of street snow into the Dark Knight. Standing tall amidst the parked cars, this icy guardian proves that even a blizzard can have its own hero, giving locals a reason to stop and stare at the slushy sidewalk.
2. Punk’s Not Dead
Nature and freezing temperatures teamed up to give this car a radical makeover. The row of jagged icicles forming a massive mohawk across the roof is a perfect example of accidental street art that looks like it belongs on a rock album cover.
3. A Warm Bear Hug
Someone turned a local tree into a giant teddy bear. This snow sculpture of a massive bear clinging to the trunk is a charming way to make a walk through the park feel like a scene from a winter fairytale, capturing a perfect moment of frozen affection.
4. The Moomin Midwinter
Inspired by Tove Jansson’s beloved world, these snow figures come to life as the sun goes down. By placing lights inside the sculptures, the artist turned a dark field into a glowing gathering of mysterious creatures that feel both magical and slightly eerie.
5. Snow-na Lisa
Forget the Louvre; the best masterpiece this winter was found on the ground. A talented artist used the snow-covered pavement as a canvas to recreate the world’s most famous portrait, proving that fine art can happen anywhere—even under your boots.
6. The Snowcat Stencil
Sometimes the simplest ideas are the best. By clearing just enough snow to create the outline of a massive, playful cat on the street, this artist gave neighbors a giant feline friend to look down on from their windows.
7. Snow-woman and the Kids
Forget the traditional three-circle snowman. This creative display features a “snow-woman” pushing a wheelbarrow full of tiny snow-babies, turning a backyard into a funny and relatable family scene that definitely beats the standard winter decorations.
8. Police Cars with Personality
Even the local precinct got in on the fun—or at least their cars did. Someone took advantage of the snow-covered windshields to draw various faces on the fleet, turning a serious row of police vehicles into a cast of animated characters with very different moods.
9. A Lesson in Snow by David Zinn
David Zinn brings his signature whimsy to the cold. “Here in the north, it is crucially important to learn the difference between snowflakes and salt,” he notes about his small character navigating the sidewalk. It’s a tiny, heart-warming detail that reminds us to look closely at our surroundings. More: Made You Smile (12 Photos of Art by David Zinn)

10. The Cat Army
Why make one snowman when you can build a whole battalion of cats? This garden has been completely taken over by a crowd of tiny, wide-eyed snow kittens, each with its own little tail and whiskers, creating a scene that is almost too cute to melt.
