Saturday Icicles

I don't know if I'm unique to this story, but did any of you old timers used to seek out icicles...topple them,  and then lick them? In fact it used to be quite dangerous, because the bigger icicles were higher, and sometimes you had to scatter when you eventually knocked them down.

Nowadays, you wouldn't even think about doing it.

And don't get me started about snow cream,
it tasted vanilla-y and mellow.
It actually was quite good...
as long as you got snow that wasn't yellow.
