Naked snow sculpture covered up after neighbours complain

A family in America was told by police to cover up their snow sculpture after neighbours complained that it was offensive.

Elisa Gonzalez and her family spent hours crafting a nude sculpture in the front garden of their home in Rahway, New Jersey.

Motorists stopped to take photos of their version of the celebrated Greek statue Venus de Milo, and several neighbours were complimentary.



But Rahway police sent an officer to their home after they received an anonymous complaint of "a naked snow woman", and asked the family to cover her up.

When the officer arrived, Mrs Gonzalez said, he was apologetic and appreciative of the snowlady and her assets. "He said, 'It's very good,'" Mrs Gonzalez recalled.

Despite his appreciation, the officer then asked the family to dress the snowlady.
