Snow Owls with Grandpa
Several years ago Art Jacobs inadvertently made a snow owl sculpture from snow that had built up on a post at Jacobs Jebel. It turned out well so he made a few more and Kai and Nora (especially Nora) seeing pictures of them over the years have fixated on them as one of Grandpa’s specialties. Having a brown Christmas meant no snow fun for the kids but Grandpa Art brought a cooler of snow that had been left over in Spooner that allowed the creation of a snow owl in Danbury. Nora even put a small one together.
From a humble beginning to an ongoing tradition – the Jacobs’ family snow owl.
Since we had no snow on Christmas Eve Grandpa brought a cooler of snow from Santa to build snow owls.

The snow owls that night.
It stayed above freezing all day so they were losing some weight.
After a light snowfall the owls have put on a little weight.
