Forecasters are calling for close to a foot of snow tonight through Wednesday. And what better way to spend a snow day then getting outside and building a snowman?

AndoverPatch is getting in the spirit, too, so we're having a contest. We want to see photos of the best snowman you can build. Send us your pictures, and we’ll publish them in an image gallery later this week. All submissions will be entered into a drawing for a prize.

And if the weather doesn’t cooperate and give us good snowman-building snow, we still want your pictures. Snow angels, forts and other creations are all welcome.

Send all photos to brendan.lewis@patch.com.
