The 3-foot-high snowmen appeared Christmas Day, the Anchorage Daily News reported. By Friday morning, they had been removed and their signs placed in the trash. Advertisement The city has been going through a flap over Snowzilla, a supersized snowman created every winter since 2003 by Anchorage resident Billy Ray Powers. This year, the city enjoined Powers from building Snowzilla, but a 25-foot-high snowman appeared overnight on his property -- and he says it was the work of anonymous supporters. Powers also denies being the creator of the snow protest. He said he did get a look at it Thursday and described the undersized snowmen as "cute as can be." Other signs carried by the snowmen included "Heck no we won't go" and "Snowzilla needs a bailout." City officials have said they do not plan to take any action against Snowzilla's latest incarnation until after the holidays.
