Cold, cold heart

Janus, the Glebe’s only 18-foot snowman, created by residents at 520 Queen Elizabeth Drive, shared his second year with the Glebe community.

In February, the heart of Janus 2021 was transplanted into the chest of Janus 2022, thus bringing him back to life. The “heart” was a piece of Janus 2021 which was carefully stored in a freezer in a secure location until his resurrection in February.

Despite rain and record hot spring temperatures, Janus was still interacting with the Glebe community at the end of March.
