That exact thing happened this week here, except everyone worked together on a snowman with my middle child first. The boys made a 4-part snowman, taller than they are, and the youngest made a baby one :-)
I remember the excitement of snow in Vancouver in the fifties and could not understand my father’s sour attitude every time it snowed. Now that I have lived in Ontario for twenty years I can’t stand the sight of it.
Once when I was in my senior year at Tallahassee, FL, we got a rare snow. Some students put up a snowman in the quadrangle. A year later I was living off-campus, and it snowed again. I made “snow ice cream” (milk, sugar, cinnamon or nutmeg stirred into fresh snow). Any of you ever done that?
bernardgarner: We had a “white Christmas” our first winter in Vancouver (actually Richmond). My wife was ecstatic but remarked how the natives must think it normal. They were as awed as she was.

Oh how cute. Looks like she got all the attention without the hard work.

Gokie5: As a kid, yes, but it sounded better than tasted.
