RockarrotWeight, spoiling and damage
A snowman weighs 4 and they stack to 100, so a full stack weighs 400. Our records also give it a spoil time of 504 hours, which is 21 days. Per the wiki it counts as a wooden structure, which means hands, stone weapons and non-explosive ranged attacks do it no damage. Several aggressive creatures cannot damage it either, among them the 
Dilophosaur, 
Compy, 
Terror Bird and 
Thylacoleo.
