I've tried different techniques for the snow golem and they always seem to somehow escape or get blown up (and taking part of my building with it). Half the time I come back and find that they somehow escaped again and their is a nice snow trails to follow (or clean up).
By the way, rain has never killed my snow golems..
@ OP: You need to put a roof over the golem's head as next time it rains he'll die.
Rain... nor even jumping in water, seems to affect the snow golem. I've had golems escape in rain... even jumped into bodies of water... and nothing happened to them. I put roofs on my towers just in case there is an eventual update to fix that.

Also lol @ shroomz' grass colour transitions... or lack of them. Is this how bad Xbox has gotten?!
heh, I just added a moat and a buttload of torches, but the I still want to use the golem. the prob I see with building towers is if the mobs get up all close he can't hit them. but if they are low, even if protected from melee monsters creepers blow up and skellies shoot em. is it just hopeless? jeez I can't wait for or on golems...
Did you not see my picture? Use fences to limit how close mobs can get to the snow golem. If you put the snow golem on a platform 3 X 3 X 3, build a fence perimeter about 2 blocks away. The only thing he should have to worry about are skeletons and maybe spiders.
Snow golems as a defense measure is kind of pointless. They can't hurt any mobs except Nether mobs. The only good they are is keeping endermen away. All they do is get the mob to agro them to the end of time (or until you/the sun kills them). I tend to only use them to protect my sheep farms, preventing endermen that teleport in from taking grass.

i have a pet snow golem and it actually saved my minecraft life. i acidently opened the door and a zombie walked in then my pet golem disstracted it while i beat it down. yeah i know i could have just killed the zombie easily but the golem gave me less work to do as it was the distraction

Hmm. Never thought of that. I may have to make a pet Golem, too... Too bad all 8 of the ones allowed in any 360 world are currently busy. I guess I could retask one or two.

The only problem is... the snow trail. I am a perfectionist when it comes to Minecraft. If it's not symetrical, I DESTROY IT! >_< That could lead to problems...

They're great for distractions while you're in a mine. Use them as scouts to distract creepers from blowing you up unexpectedly.

I am sorry i do not have a picture as I do not know how to take one, but for my snow golems I build Kiosks. in a pattern shown below. it helps if you but iron bars on the spots marked with an "x" as with that system the only thing I have seen kill my golems are skeletons. Spiders just climb to the top, nearby I do have a pit filled with cactus and netherrack for the golem to toss mobs into.

As for the Golem itself, I've neve used them since they always get themselves blown up.
I stick with making a grid of torches around the area.
Stay fluffy~
I decided to use fences to keep mobs back away from the snow golem so he could still hit them.

Yeah. It's a definite eyesore.

Im sorry but thats the best I know to do I think skeletons will always be a problem because if they can shoot out skeletons can shoot in.
