snow angel

Lying-down winter creation

A snow angel is a figure made by lying on your back in fresh snow and moving your arms and legs to create wing and robe shapes, then carefully rising to leave the impression behind.

The activity is a childhood winter pastime: The kids made snow angels in the front yard.
