Sea turtles may conjure images of tropical waters and warm climates, but thanks to three brothers in New Brighton, Minn., the reptile has had a frosty makeover.
Austin, Connor and Trevor Bartz are snow sculpting pros who've turned winter fluff into a massive menagerie over the years, and they're latest effort is an impressive display of turtle power.
Measuring 12-foot high, the icy creature takes up their whole front yard.
The guys started the project just days after Christmas and, like building a snowman, it all began by gathering a mound snow — just a whole lot more of it than usual.
By Jan. 7, the turtle was complete. A time-lapsed video shows the Bartz brothers' impressive process from beginning to end.
