Brrr-ave Big Apple artisans hit local parks after Monday’s blizzard to create “Snowmanhenge” and other fanciful works — building countless wild snow sculptures that would put Frosty to shame.

Brooklyn’s masterpieces ranged from pondering bench figures in Crown Heights to an Easter Island moai at McGolrick Park in Greenpoint to a gargantuan gaggle of snowmen at Bedford-Stuyvesant’s Herbert Von King Park, later dubbed “Snowmanhenge” by the city Parks Department.

“The sculptures are great,” said Jim Zuckerman, a 77-year-old retiree, to The Post during a walk around Central Park’s creations – which included a pair of polar bears, an igloo, male head, topless woman with red lipstick and a penis.

Michael Mukasa, a 31-year-old who sells window treatments, called the makeshift snow sculpture park, “Beauty! Beauty! Beauty!”

Mukasa, 31, noted the male figure with washboard abs was his favorite of the bunch. 

“I could tell everybody likes it too, because people were taking pictures,” he said.

Nylos Wilson, a 22-year-old student, called out an adorable mom-and-child polar bear sculpture in particular.

“I like the vibe of it, it’s very nice and friendly,” said the 22-year-old student. “It’s very cute.

“You know, making the best out of the weather – [it’s] just fun,” he said.
