Amazing.

I grew up in Detroit, Michigan (just blocks away from the Detroit River) and walked to school in mountains of snow. I'd never known anything during the winters, BUT snow (until I moved to Florida in 1998, of course), and I have never heard of this snow cream everyone is talking about.

We did eat the newly fallen snow as kids, but you never brought it into the house unless you were going to try to save a snowball to pull out during the summer.(Which I was never able to pull off because it ultimately turns into an ice ball.)

I find it truly amazing that this isn't regularly practiced in places where it snows all the time, and here it's pretty much a given.

I've been looking at some of the recipes posted on GOLO and mentioned throughout the comments area on the big snow story on our home page and I am in awe that there is a real recipe that involves snow. I'm telling you, I've learned something new at least every other day, since becoming a North Carolina resident on February 5, 2007. 

Never have I seen such excitement about snow, and I have to admit...it's infectious. I am excited about the possibility of my girls seeing snow for the first time, and I am a little bit curious about this snow cream, but I don't know if I can bring it into the house.

Oh, wait a minute, I'm an adult now and I pay the bills...so I guess I CAN bring snow into the house. 

Hmmmm.

I just may do this. What's that recipe again?
