Description from Kathryn R: Yayyy! We are FINALLY getting a decent Snowfall in the Twin Cities! After a long nasty drought during this past year, this is looking to be a decent amount of much-needed snow. Kids are delighted and home for holiday break so... snowsuits, waterproof mitts, warm boots and scarves are being donned for major snow fort building. Then, the snowballs FLY!

Chali-o says:Bbrrrrr…. we don’t get snow here, but we did wad some socks for a fake snowball fight. I like your version better.

dolllady aka Pam says:Wow! This is the best way to have snow in my eyes. In the almost 35 years I have been down here, there has been 2 snowfalls. The first one dropped just enough for kids to make between 6″ to 12″ snowmen using what fell in their own yard. The second one just had a shift of a build up on trash cans and edges of roofs. That was too much for me. I’d much rather wear it with a set made out of your pick!!

BevB says:Kathryn – I love your snowball fight pick! It went into my favs. Yesterday we had light snowflakes with temps in the 30s. Today our temps are in the 50s with gray skies.

Phoenix says:Beautiful pick. I’m not into snowball fights, but I love seeing the beautiful sparkly snow finally! The laser etched pieces are especially beautiful.

Melody F says:Here in Salem, OR we had snow for Christmas and a little bit after, but it has mostly melted now, which I think is perfect! Last year’s ice storm put us in a motel for a week, and I don’t want a repeat of that. We were the lucky ones as many had to just be cold without power. You pick is a great depiction of a snowball fight! The beads would make some amusing winter jewelry.

Jogi says:This is a beautiful pick! For us, if one could make a ball of water (not frozen) to throw, we could have had a fight. Days in the 70s with lots of rain. Have a wonderful fight!

Kathryn R says:Thanks, LB Folks! The past week we’ve had more snow and today’s temp is -12 degrees with wind chills around -25 degrees. But bright cold SUNSHINE!
