Not going to lie...my family drove by one of these awesome masterpieces, created by Jason Cote, and thought they were elaborate crop-circles of some sort.  The first one we saw was at the Elks Club in Augusta.  A week later, we noticed one further up the road from our original discovery.  That's when I knew it wasn't aliens!

I had the opportunity to speak with the artist responsible for these snow designs.  Jason Cote, from Belgrade, said:

"I got my inspiration from British snow artist Simon Beck after watching his videos. I felt compelled to make these designs so I started with one and had a huge response from the public so I decided to continue doing them getting a little more difficult each time...seems to be bringing alot of people joy so that has also Inspired me to keep creating them."
