Let It Snow

We woke up at 7:30 am to a winter wonderland here in Vtown today

We collected some snow and enjoyed SNOW ICE CREAM tonight... This brings back alot of memories for me of being a little girl at my grandmothers! Here is a recipe for you to enjoy next time you encounter the white stuff!

Snow Ice Cream
Recipe courtesy Paula Deen

8 cups snow, or shaved ice (we had maybe around 2 of 3 cups of icy snow to use)

1 (14-ounce) can sweetened condensed milk (I substituted 2% milk and splenda)

1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Place snow or shaved ice into a large bowl.

Pour condensed milk over and add vanilla.

Mix to combine.

Serve immediately in bowls.

Snow facts

Did you know that no two snow flakes are the same... Each has an unique design (Just like you; you are unique too). check out the photos of actual magnified snowflakes at this cool website. http://www.its.caltech.edu/~atomic/snowcrystals/

Each year an average of 105 snow-producing storms affect the continental United States. A typical storm will have a snow-producing lifetime of two to five days and will bring snow to portions of several states.

Practically every location in the United States has seen snowfall. Even most portions of southern Florida have seen a few snow flurries

Based on National Weather Service records for 1961 through 1990, Rochester, New York averages 94 inches of snow annually and is the snowiest large city in the United States.



I hope you all enjoyed our brief and elusive visitor from the arctic today it is a rarity in the south.
