First Snow

Well this week I experienced my first snow ever with Des. We were predicted to get about an inch but ended up getting almost 5. Shows how much the weather people actually know. Anyone could be a weather man, although I wouldnt volunteer for the job. People constantly hating you when things that you predict dont come true. Get a life people...thats why they are called PREDICTIONS.

Anyway, it got pretty cool. It was down to about 10 or so degrees here. My new family just laughs at me cause I never wear a coat. I guess I'm just used to it. The cold doesnt bother me. Like last night I went out in flip flops to get a bowl full of snow so I could make some snow ice cream. My father-in-law about had a stroke when he saw me in my shorts and flip flops. I thought that it was quite invigorating.

Awww yes, snow ice-cream. If you've never had it you must try it. All ya gotta do is go out and look for some pure white snow. None of that yellow snow unless you want yours flavored just a little bit. Get a bowl and scoop some in there. Go back inside. You'll need, milk, vanilla, and either powdered sugar or if you dont have any just use regular sugar doesnt really matter. Now you mix them all together in the snow until you have the flavor you like. It all depends on how much snow you get. Me I like my creamy and sweet. So I use a lot of milk to get the snow flavor out and about a 1/2 a teaspoon of vanilla for about every cup of snow. Doesnt have to be exact. Then stir it all up and enjoy.

The only thing I was disappointed in was it wasnt good snow to make a snow man. It was perfect for the ice-cream, all powdery. But wasnt sticky enough for the snow man. Oh well I guess. March is just around the corner and we usually get a pretty good snow then. I'm waiting to see if I actually have work tomorrow. The roads aren't very clear, they are full of ice, so I doubt that many people come in even if we are open. Ok well I'm off for now. Talk to you later. Adios.
