A snowman prisoner and guard stood watch outside the Pulaski County Detention Center on Thursday.
A snowman on a stretcher started a county-wide competition among agencies to see who could build the best display.
The snowman outside of the Pulaski County 911 Center is trying to help dispatch the winter weather away.
The Somerset Fire Department chose to name their fire-snowman Frosty.
Itâs possible to have a competition where everybody wins. Several Somerset and Pulaski emergency and enforcement agencies proved that Thursday.
What started as a small way for Somerset-Pulaski EMS crews to have fun in the snow turned into a snowman building competition between them and the Pulaski County Detention Center, with Pulaski County 911 Center and the Somerset Fire Department stepping in as well.

A Somerset man who was accused along with his wife of abusing their grandson has been sentenced after pleading guilty to an amended charge.
Christopher David Haynes was sentenced February 5 in Pulaski Circuit Court to four years in prison for second-degree Criminal Abuse.
Haynes and his wife 55-year-old Lana Jane Haynes were jointly indicted in December 2019 on one count of first-degree Criminal Abuse of a Child 12 or Under.
Both initially entered not guilty pleas to the charge, which stemmed from an investigation by the Somerset Police Department. SPD Captain Mike Correll reported at the time that the foster parents of a 10-month-old boy contacted police July 31, 2019, after the child s grandparents had returned him from a visitation. During the exchange, the Hayneses told the foster parents that the child may have bruises because another child hit the baby with a toy.

Pulaski County Detention Center Sgt. Rodney Dick and Nursing Director Casey Coffey updated Fiscal Court Tuesday on jail operations since the COVID-19 pandemic began.
While the COVID-19 pandemic has been particularly hard on county jails across Kentucky, the Pulaski County Detention Center accomplished something nearly unheard of.
During Tuesday s meeting of Pulaski County Fiscal Court, PCDC Sergeant Rodney Dick presented county officials with a $44,255 check representing excess fees for 2020.
With the pandemic keeping inmates from being transferred, most local jails saw a dramatic drop in inmate population particularly state inmates that produce lodging revenues.
Dick said that Jailer Anthony McCollum and his command staff restructured as a result. We re doing more with less, he said.
