(1) The chest x ray film shows a normal sized heart with upturned apex suggestive of right ventricular hypertrophy. The absence of the main pulmonary artery segment gives the cardiac shadow a characteristic appearance often termed as "coeur en sabot" or boot shaped heart.

(2) The most likely diagnosis is tetralogy of Fallot

"Snowman ([sometimes] in a snowstorm)": TAPVR (http://www.bcm.edu/radiology/cases/pediatric/text/2e-desc.htm)

"Box shaped": Ebstein's (from a different, but also cool article http://www.scribd.com/doc/4801246/-Cardiology-Radiographics-)
