Zurich's Snowman Stolen Week Ahead of Annual Spring Bonfire
April 19 (Bloomberg) -- Zurich's artficial snowman representing winter that's traditionally burned to mark the beginning of spring was stolen a week ahead of the annual bonfire in the center of town.
The snowman, made up of wood shavings, papier-mache and firecrackers, is placed at the top of the bonfire. The less time it takes for the snowman's head to be blown up after the wood stack is lit, the better the summer, the saying goes.
On Tuesday Zurich's daytime temperatures only reached a high of 11 degrees Celsius, 28 degrees below the high of 39 degrees reached on Monday, the day the snowman was reported missing.
