Salem So Sweet: Ice Sculptures in the Snow [VIDEO]

The falling snow added a bit of life to ice sculptures installed across the city Saturday morning.

The more than a dozen ice sculptures that were displayed across downtown Salem over the weekend came in all shapes and sizes and were brought to life by snow flurries.

Though the falling snow made the task of piecing together the frozen works of art a little harder for the crew members we drove around with Saturday morning, the flakes speeding by definitely made them stand out on video.

Using water, snow, slush and a little dry ice - workers delicately pieced the sculptures together and drew a small crowd of local residents everywhere they went.
