Brooklyn bid to break snow ball record runs into legal obstacles:

Even after Mother Nature dumped record snow on the city, there was still a you-know-what chance in hell of the largest snowball fight in history happening in Brooklyn.

Since announcing a bid to bring more than 3,000 frost flingers to Prospect Park, Cobble Hill chemist Jonathan Rosen has lined up everything he needs to shatter an existing Guinness World Record — except insurance.

“Nobody really wants to touch this because anything with the word ‘fight’ in the title just sounds scary,” said Rosen, 31.

A fear of lawsuits forced Rosen to resist holding the fight on Sunday, when New York got dumped with its own record-breaking 26.9 inches of snow. It was the first storm since the Queens native announced his plans in December.

. . .

Rosen was hoping to melt the existing record set by 3,084 people in Wauconda, Ill. — certified a month ago.

“I’ve got to admit, I was pretty bummed out most of the weekend because it just seemed like the timing would have been perfect,” Rosen said. “Still, you have to think in a city like this, where there’s a will there’s a way.”
