After parts of the UK experienced snow to start the festive season last week, many people headed out into their gardens and local green spaces to build snowmen, make snow angels, and have snowball fights.
But one dad's inventive snowy creation has left people in fits of laughter - as his tall snowman took the shape of something incredibly rude when it started to melt the following morning.
Geoff, 40, took advantage of the snow and decided to build a snowman with his two children, but instead of opting for the classic round shape, the family instead made an upright figure, adding buttons for eyes, as well as a classic carrot nose and cosy hat and scarf.
Unfortunately, when the temperatures rose slightly and the snowman started to melt, it began to take the shape of something else entirely - with Geoff and his family waking up in fits of laughter.
The dad, who works as a gardener, was shocked to discover his snowman had melted sideways, as it left the structure looking remarkably like an erect penis.
Geoff shared before and after snaps of the creation to his friends on WhatsApp, one of whom then shared it on Reddit, where it has since left social media users in hysterics, racking up over 19,400 likes so far.
And hilariously, the snowman sculpture has now been dubbed "the leaning tower of penis".
One commenter joked: "For some reason, this has made me laugh more than anything else today. Thanks!"
Another quipped: "Give it a rub, it'll stand better!"
Geoff's pal Ricky, who was the one who shared the photos on Reddit, later said he and his mates thought Geoff's creation was "amazing" and said the reaction the image has had online has been "funny" to see.
He explained: "Geoff sent the picture of it to our WhatsApp group chat and we thought it was amazing. I shared it on the subreddit because people there seem to like that kind of thing.
"It was funny to see people react to it and give it nicknames, my friends and I were particularly fond of 'The Leaning Tower of Penis'.
"I posted a follow-up this morning as it's melting, which is also quite funny as it's drooping even more so now."
