A second grade student with friends in Alabama helps judge over 60 entries for the "Snowman Contest." Tristen, Mrs. Bigg's student is joined by Amelia, a student who lives just outside of Atlanta, Georgia to judge a contest sponsored by an affiliate site in Haleyville, Alabama. Normally Haleyville does not get snow, however 2011 is the exception. With over five inches falling on the ground and temperatures able to sustain the snow, children were able to express themselves!
