When building a snowman, you have to remember from the beginning which style you are going for. The 'regular' snowman has three large balls of snow as it's body. The largest one is at the bottom, with the middle size in the middle and the smallest at the top. There is also the 'not-quite-regular' snowman with the three large balls of snow, but they are all of the same size as much as possible. These are for the 'children' snowpeople usually.
When making them, use as large a clump of snow as possible in the building of the balls, and pack the the clumps securely together so when you lift the ball, it doesn't fall apart. (Usually, you start building the snowman where it's going to be standing so that you don't have to move that largest ball of snow.) Then, make the smaller ball and put it on top of the larger one, positioning it so it is centered. Do the same with the smallest ball of snow and put it on the middle ball.
Of the two top balls, each one should have about 2/3 the size of the one below it. Add arms and eyes and a nose. If you like, add a hat and scarf.
Now - as for the sinister sort of snowmen ... if they have legs and are walking around, you might want to suspect that they are not friendly to you. It's not a 'forever' solution, because, after all, Frosty did dance around. But generally speaking, if a snowman starts at you, brandishing some sort of weapon, you might consider that they belong to the S.O.S.
