Hey All,

starting at 9:00 am.

What are you going to do if there isn't any snow?

The snow is being trucked in from a ski area a little over a hundred
miles away. A twelve yard dump truck, I guess the store wants to make
some snow sculptures too.

Whadya mean "if"?

In 9 years in Boise, there's only been enough snow at my house to make a
snowman 3 times, and two of those were so marginal that I had to roll the
ball from the front yard to the back yard, two loops around and back to the
front before I had a decent sized ball! My wife (having grown up in
Eastern Idaho) likes Boise snow because it melts within 24 hours of falling.
(Boise is on the edge of a desert and is only 2500' elevation.)

As Ed says, they are trucking it in, but not from the ski resort, since the
ski resort only has about 12" at the base. I read that they are trucking it
in from Idaho City, which has more snow (but no ski resort -- although they
have some cross country ski areas).

Ed's Today show demo had the snow (really ice) trucked in.

Too bad you're not up my way, Ed. Enough snow around here. If I
finish my Christmas schlopping this weekend (and don't waste the rest
of my time skiing), I'm putting one up in my front yard. The local
kids consider it a neighbourhood tradition.

Oh yeah... I finally got my wife to agree to a trip where she'll sleep
in an igloo.
