Giant snowman rises again in Alaska, mysteriously

A giant snowman named Snowzilla has mysteriously appeared again this year -despite the city's cease-and-desist order.

It is the third year running that Snowzilla has appeared in Billy Powers' yard in east Anchorage, to the delight of some and the chagrin of others. Powers is not taking credit. When questioned on Tuesday afternoon, he insisted Snowzilla just somehow happened, again.

In 2005, Snowzilla rose nearly 5 m. He had a corncob pipe and a carrot nose and two eyes made out of beer bottles. This year, Snowzilla is estimated to be 7.6 m tall. He's wearing a black stovepipe hat and scarf.
