EXT. GARDEN - DAY
A boy is walking out of the house and into the garden. Everything is covered in snow. A snowman in a top hat comes over to the boy.
SNOWMAN
Good morning
BOY
Good morning, what should we do today?
SNOWMAN
Why don't I take you flying around the town
BOY
I don't know, that sounds a bit dangerous
SNOWMAN
You'll be fine so long as you're with me, your good pal Icarus
Something for the Classicists among us.
If that is, in fact, how you spell classicists.
That might be slightly to clever.
Not keen on the Icarus line, but there is a joke in there somewhere. Maybe come at it from a different angle and go nastier:
EXT. CRIME SCENE
DETECTIVE: Beautiful day.
PATHOLOGIST: Yes, no-one was expecting that sudden thaw.
DETECTIVE: So what do you have for me?
PATHOLOGIST: A real headscratcher - the body of a child, he appears to have fallen from a great height. And we found these at the scene.
HOLDS UP A SCARF AND HAT.
(Sorry for elbowing in on your thread.)
very weak punchline.
Timbos is good...even better, two detectives and one says nothing but chomps on a carrot throughout.

Yeah I wasn't too sure if it was very good or not.
Cheers for the comments.

Now that is nice and subtle, maybe copper2 quietly whistles, Walking in the clouds.

Air, man! Air!
Ok I'll take my boot off your throat, but only coz you so purdy.
Maybe one of the cops is Tom Skerit and he tells the other that if you build snowmen long enough these things happen.
