• Utah snow is just around the corner, and the
  holidays are heading our way! Dont miss out on
  your chance to introduce your kids to some fun
  snow activities this winter! From making snow ice
  cream to orchestrating snowball fights, theres
  no shortage of fun to have in the snow. Be sure
  to take a few extra safety precautions for your
  home this winter such as checking your HVAC
  system and installing snow guards on your roof.
  Here are a few fun ways to kickoff the winter fun!

Snow Ice Cream

• Snow isnt everyones dream come true, but
  who doesnt love a bowl of homemade ice cream?
  Instead of spending the day out in the cold, warm
  yourself by the fire and help your kids prepare a
  delicious (though slightly unsanitary) bowl of
  snow ice cream. Its simple too! Scoop 8-12 cups
  of fresh, white (not yellow) snow into a large
  bowl and then add 300mL of sweetened condensed
  milk. Finally, add a teaspoon of vanilla and mix
  the ingredients together with a wooden spoon.
  Voila! Help yourself to a simple, inexpensive
  bowl of delicious ice cream. But as you enjoy the
  holiday season, dont forget to protect your home
  by installing roof snow guards.

Snow Building

• Snowman snow is hard to come byit requires
  the perfect consistency of moisture within the
  snow, and the weather must be just right to
  prevent it from melting. But just because your
  kids cant build a snowman doesnt mean they
  cant build other things with the snow! Challenge
  your kids to gather sticks, stones, and other
  garden treasures to build a makeshift snowman or
  snowpile. Encourage them to deviate from
  traditional snowmen by building thrones, igloos,
  and other sculptures. But as snowfall begins to
  increase, make sure youre not just entertaining
  your kids, but protecting your home as well!
  Install roof snow guards to help manage the snow
  on your roof and alleviate the pressure to
  prevent roof collapse.

Snow Candy

• Kids can often seem hard to please, but snow
  candy is an easy way to entertain (and feed) your
  kids! Rather than shopping for candy canes and
  chocolates, bust out a bottle of maple syrup to
  create maple syrup snow candy! In a saucepan,
  bring 2 cups of maple syrup to a boil. Next, pack
  down an area of clean snow. Pour the syrup in
  puddles on the snow and then press popsicle
  sticks into the syrup, rolling it as it cools to
  form a maple syrup lollipop. Encourage your kids
  to join the fun or surprise them with their
  holiday treat! But dont let the sweetness
  distract you from whats really
  importantprotecting your home. Install roof snow
  guards or ice guards to protect your home this
  winter.
