Say It Isn’t Snow!

There’s not much else to say today except…it’s still snowing.  Notice the amount still left on our deck yesterday (p.s. that dog is 120 lbs tall so you can see how much snow we got).  The guys worked diligently to get the deck cleared off so they could start all over again today!  Ugh!  We are so ready to move to the sunshine! 

 
 Our deck yesterday and the weather again today!

 

The only good thing to come out of today’s snow is a Snow Cone, Snowball, Shaved Ice, call it what you will…in Baltimore-DC they’re Snowballs done in a shaved ice machine – the consistency is slightly different than you find in other areas of the country, but similar in taste nonetheless.  In our house we all have a favorite: Skylite  – more a color than an actual flavor, but still sweet, and berrylicious; Pink Lemonade – especially topped with marshmallow cream; and the quintessential  Baltimore fave Egg Custard – bright orange-yellow tasting almost like a crème brûlée, believe it or not!

 

Homemade Egg Custard Snowball made this morning

 We love them in the summer (there are little stands/shacks in every nook & cranny of the area selling them – even on long, windy, sparse country roads).  In the winter when it snows the kids automatically think: Snowball – and not the kind you throw!  They love to grab some up in a cup and pour on the favored syrups.   It’s the perfect winter bite to remind us of summer!  Cheers!
