A normal hay box will keep things cool as well as warm, they’re just very well insulated.

You could put snow in a haybox to make it last longer – save some for later when everyone else has run out!

In the spirit of “giving” for the holidays, I think you should use old cardboard boxes (that were going to be recycled) fill them with snow, and take them to the closest thrift center. This way you’re helping the needy by supplying them with supplies to make water, snowball ice cream and perhaps an igloo to call home.

I always look forward to snow because then I can make snow cones! Its best to do this right after it falls so you can get the fresh snow off the top. Make a snowball and put it in a bowl. I use strawberry Torani syrup for my flavoring and put that on top! It is delicious!

We used to make snow ice cream when I was a kid. We added sugar, milk and beaten eggs. But that was in the 1950′s and really we shouldn’t have eaten it at all as we lived in New Mexico during the H-Bomb testing. Gosh it was good, though!

In my neck of the woods, snow used to be called ‘poor man’s fertilizer’ and tilled into the soil whenever possible, but I don’t know how true that still is. I imagine that if you have a spot that’s shady all day long, at least in the winter, the snow will last quite a while and could be used as a fridge (not quite cold enough to be a freezer unless the outside temps are well below freezing).
