Santa Claus is a foreigner to Austrian culture (very invasive species, environmentalists seem to have already lost the battle against him becoming native here): instead we have the Christkind which this year brought at least some snow, but also took most of it away already before Christmas.
The snowman wasn't a present from Christkind though, it was my nieces and nephews who built him (last year they made a snowwoman for whatever reason).
As you can see, the poor guy already had suffered quite from warm weather and rain:
Later on even his proud head:
fell off, but he was able to re-morph into a new (if smaller) snowman:
After that the snowman quickly resolved into nothing. I thought I'd spare you a photo of that, there's no need for showing such atrocities around Christmas time, is there?
