As long as that moisture is a frozen white powder let him have all he want. Just as long as he keeps it up there. When I find my snow icecream recipe I am going to post it for him as he has never had snow icecream. Since I live in Arkansas I don't use it much [:D] . And that is the way I like it. [:D]

We are also fortune enough to have the Branson Scenic Railway operating a tourist train. M&NA route sees an empty coal train pass through about every 24 hours. There are 3 mile long tunnels a short distance from Branson, both on the north and south end. I have taken some nice photos around these areas.
Happy Holidays from Dave.

As long as that moisture is a frozen white powder let him have all he want. Just as long as he keeps it up there. When I find my snow icecream recipe I am going to post it for him as he has never had snow icecream. Since I live in Arkansas I don't use it much [:D] . And that is the way I like it. [:D]



Alex [8D] [}:)] [:p] [:)] [;)]

Here is a kinda sorta recipe for Snow Icecream

First rule of Snow Icecream -- Don't eat yellow snow [xx(]
Always use nice clean fresh snow. [:)]
In a large bowl combine 4 to 6 cups of snow with
1/4 cup Sugar
1/2 cup Milk
1/2 teaspoon Vanilla
Stir and enjoy.


When I was little snow icecream was a real treat. [:D]
I have not made it in years. Maybe some of the other forum members might have a snow icecream recipe. Just experiment with it and make it to your liking. I guess you can add other things for flavor like chocolate or in your case -- cheese. lol [:D]

Hey Alaskaman, I'll claim Minnesota. I can't believe that in all these responses there still unrepresented states, and that on page 5 I'm the first gopher.

Wonder if we'll ever find a Hawiian..... not a real hot spot for train watching.
