Rubber Snow Mitts
There's a good reason these never caught on: I'm sure the wearer's hands were as clammy as dead fish within seconds of wearing them.Source.
Even the modern version that appears next has some breathable fabric, and is specially for work, not snowball fights.

Formula One With Snow Chains
A Formula One car going down a ski slope, something you don't see everyday. The car was airlifted to the top of the course and fitted with chains on the tires for the trip. The Formula One Rookie of the Year drove and 3,500 people watched. Apparently a good time was had by all.

Weird Snowmen
Evil snowmen is a horror trope that had never occurred to me. But I'm sure it's in one Stephen King novel or another already.
Anthropomorphic icicles is another notion I was blissfully unfamiliar with. Can they really run far enough and fast enough to the north to escape Spring?
