A snow angel is generated by a human footprint in the snow, the shape of a angel has.
The creation of a snow angel is a winter children's game that is popular and very widespread in the snowy regions of North America, and it is as important in children's folklore in the United States and Canada as building snowmen or throwing snowballs in Germany . However, there are also many adults who make snow angels.
method
Creating a snow angel is easy. The first step is to find a pristine, smooth snow surface. The person lies down on his back with his arms outstretched to the side and then paddles up and down or back and forth with his arms and legs. This creates four hollows in the snow, which form the “wings” and “robe” halves of the angel.
variation
One variation is the snow eagle . When creating a snow eagle, the person does not row across a surface, but pushes arms and legs offset at a short distance into the snow, creating the image of plumage.
World record
According to the Guinness Book of Records , North Dakota holds the world record for the largest number of snow angels produced in the same place at the same time. On February 18, 2007, 8,962 snow angels were created simultaneously on the grounds of the parliament building in Bismarck .
