Is it ok to fly with a snowman?

Accepted answer

According to SAS Prohibited Items, the rules that apply are those of the European Union (emphasis mine):

Under the current rules, you can carry as hand luggage, liquids in individual containers with a capacity not greater than 100 ml and contained in one transparent re-sealable plastic bag of a capacity not exceeding one liter. Liquids cover gels, aerosols, pastes, lotions, liquid/solid mixtures and other items of similar consistency, such as drinks, toothpaste, soups, syrups, perfumes, shaving foam, etc.

Since snow can readily be transformed into a liquid at room temperature, the above rules would apply. Only if your "snowman" is of a total volume of 100 mL or less, and is packed inside its own individual container contained inside a re-sealable plastic bag, would it be permitted. You will note that this arrangement leaves little room for equipment or additional material designed to keep the snowman cold enough to remain solid.

Attempting to transporting a snowman in a cooler would certainly not be permitted.
