STEUBEN, Maine — A snowman on Route 1 in Steuben is trying his best to hitch a ride to colder climes just before noon on Friday, as rain began pelting him into oblivion. The hitcher was created after Thursday’s wet snowfall by teenagers Aaron Stanwood and Tyler Norton. The snowman features a different face on either side of his head, smiling for drivers heading toward Ellsworth and frowning for those traveling toward Machias.

Cute!! Nice to see kids still make snowmen!!
Creative! Good to see America’s youth are giving us a fighting chance for the future.
Thanks so much, fellows. Your creativity impresses me and I appreciated the good laugh.
Hope we hear more from you.
Yes, SO wonderfully creative! (maybe one or both of you have found your calling)
This is cute..
I bet if it was a snowwoman, there would be a line of rednecks in pickups stopping to pick her up
A smile to head to Bangor area where people state is ” nothing but drug city cause of the alarming rate on bath salt users”, and a frown headed towards Machias- hummmmm interesting, seeing how people in down-east area DO know what hard labor is such as digging clams, wrinkling, lobstering, scalloping and blue-berrying, and etc. is actually HARD labor to do.
I think they know drugs pretty well in Washington County.
Don’t be so negative. Just two kids having some fun with a snowman.
Morning: Lighten up and have a few prunes with your “Like” friends. Have you not ever seen a hitchhiker frown when an empty car slows down to check out the person and then speeds away? Not everything is a political statement. Maybe you can send the kids a donation and they can build a duplicate snowman on the other side of the road.
What the Sam Hell is, “wrinkling”? Sounds disturbing. No wonder the rest of the state won’t give you guys a casino!
A snail like FOOD that comes off frozen cold ocean beach, at at very low tide- when picked, people freeze their hands off to make money, so people such as yourself- can eat them. I personally hate the things- But I know when I lived that way, a lot of people had no choice to go pick wrinkles, and a lot still do so.
It’s a type of snail found in the ocean.
I think you need more coffee or something,I didnt know you could read that much into a snowman beside the road!Its kids having fun,your overthinking it!
Sure, Bangor has the bath salts. Everyone knows Machias dopers prefer oxyies
LOL- and a lot of other areas do too. I, personally, don’t know what they look like besides what I see in the paper, which is a good thing. Machias isn’t the only town that has that problem- Yep, that next cup was good- TY!
Didn’t Frosty’s fateful flight start with his thumb out?
Sometimes the simple things in life have the power to make folks smile. This sure did! Thank you guys!
Nice to read an article with out bath salts, robbery, assault, and the
rest…There is a God in heaven…
I enjoyed this article. Good imaginations with these two kids~Great to see!
The Story about Bob Carlson lying about his entire life and violating the public trust in about 600 ways got bumped onto page 2 by a story about a snowman? Really??
I bet more will come out. He was a real low life hiding behind the cloth.
Makes me ill!
Lets take a vote,read about a molesting minister or a snowman?my vote is the snowman!
Snowman.
snowman.
Good point. You got me. But still weak reporting.
Ill agree with you also…weak reporting!
How many people stopped to give Mr Snow Man a ride? lol
Had a nice chuckle this morning seeing that. Thanks guys!
LOVE IT! Too funny, these days it’s great to get an unexpected chuckle when you are driving down the street. Maybe this will catch on and they will start popping up all over, like a contest for the best snowman hitch hiker:)
Way to go boys. You gave a lot of people a good chuckle.
How did some of you aquire the skill sets that allows you to connect everything in the BDN to drugs, DHHS, and a fallen preacher? It a darn snowman….nothing else!
It is not a skill set. It is either dementia or they purchased one of those radioactive tissue boxes made in India.
Hats off to you, That’s funny!
