I am Selling Authentic New York Snowballs! $1.00 Each!

The Snow is white! Really! No that's not the salt from the roads, either!

And if you have a sweet juice, you can pour it over the snowball and make a desert treat! :D

I just walked for an hour through wet, slushy snow. By the time I got home, my feet were literally dripping and wet up to my knees.

Yeah, I'm real lucky.

Post by: Clave on January 07, 2005, 01:07:17 am: I like snow - in moderation, but that is somewhat overpriced. I live on a small hill which is always 3 degrees or so colder than the rest of the suburbs, which improves the snow possibilities no end...

Super-condensed syrup. It's expensive as anything to do it, though, so it is really rare to have. Last time I had it I was 7 years old when I had a class trip to a sugar bush (place where they tap a bunch of maples to collect the sap for syrup) to learn how they made the stuff.
