Snow Ice Cream

You scream, I scream, We all scream for Ice Cream!!! 

Where we live in Oklahoma it hardly ever snows. So..... when we got an unexpected "blizzard" with inches upon inches of clean beautiful snow we had to try snow ice cream! Of course we couldn't just try traditional vanilla, we had to try them all!!!  Here are the ones that got an A+ from our 4 expert ice cream judges! Since they all have probably sampled every ice cream ever made and would prefer it for breakfast, lunch and dinner - I decided the 4 of them were probably the best judges for the job. Enjoy!
