Where can I find snow when it's 100 degrees outside?
On hot days, I really wish I could find a snowball. No...not the type of snowballs that you throw, but the ones you eat. If you don't know what I'm talking about, it's basically a cup of crushed ice with flavored syrup on top. It's like a shaved ice, but not exactly the same thing.
I grew up in Maryland and there were snowball stands everywhere you turned. My mom loved the spearmint flavor and lime was my sister's choice. My brother would always choose skylight (a blue syrup that may have tasted like blueberry) with marshmallow fluff on top and my favorites were tutti frutti, raspberry, watermelon and cherry. (I guess I like "red" flavors). Each stand had 40-50 flavors to choose from...some places had even more.
Snowballs (or snowcones) are the perfect treat for a hot day. The problem is, I can't find them anywhere in New Jersey or Pennsylvania. Slushies and water ice are good, but I really want a snowball. (And yes, I've tried to make one at home and it just isn't the same).
Are there any other snowball fans out there or does anyone know where I can find one? Driving 3 hours just isn't an option. HELP!
