Sculptor carves life-sized snow statues of Aaron Rodgers, Eddie Lacy

Sculpture in Wisconsin builds life-size snow statues of Aaron Rodgers and Eddie Lacy.

NFL football becomes increasingly scarce in January, while the winter weather only becomes more severe.

Luckily, residents of Wisconsin still have the former to inspire them while they deal with the latter.

Jeff Olson, a snow sculptor, carved life-sized snow sculptures of Aaron Rodgers and Eddie Lacy in Menasha, about 100 miles north of Milwaukee. Both carvings are impressive, but the one of Lacy is especially imposing.

The Rodgers snowman, however, captures the quarterback's poise and composure.

As remarkable as Olson's tributes are, Packers fans are doubtlessly hoping they melt down before the real versions do.
