DOWNERS GROVE, IL — The recent winter storm dumped nearly six inches of snow in Downers Grove, but one man saw that as a source of artistic inspiration. Police were called to a home in the 4800 block of Saratoga Ave. Wednesday after a concerned motorist reported seeing a "tall snow sculpture" that "mimicked the male sex organ," according to a police report.

The officer who responded to the call arrived at the scene and found the snow sculpture. The sculpture, "constructed of snow and ice," was described by the officer as "approximately 10 to 15 feet tall." in the police report.

Police say the caller described the snow sculpture as "enormous."
