• 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 by-it 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 snow
  pile. 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 metal
  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
  important-protecting your home. Install roof snow
  guards or ice guards to protect your home this
  winter.
