It was only 55 degrees here today, and I was freezing. :o :o ...I could have used some hot cocoa.

Maybe we need to change the concept and have them deliver hot cocoa, tea and coffees with danishes during the winter months?? B)

-4 when I left the house this morning. Thankfully not much wind. Got to a high of 17 by 2:30pm.

Had no idea MBX had released this in so many colors.

Soo... I guess it's too late to ask for a Death by Peanut Butter and Chocolate? A Reese's Pieces Blizzard isn't really an adequate substitute. :(

One day I will put a picture out the Dream Halloween promo model. The "I Scream" van is the coolest version of this casting out there.

In the meantime, I think Mickey might want to join in on the action.

I remember being stationed in Germany and during the winter the Ice Cream wasn't for sale but during the summer yes. Is it that way in Canada?

Our local dairy bars are all closed for the winter months and will reopen anywahere from April 2014 toMay 2014 for the summer. For those who have a dairy Queen Franchise nearby , they are open year around, also Wendy's has their milkshakes and whatever they call there frozen slop. I think Micky D' put their away for the winter, The frozen yogurt bar is open though. and of coarse you can get all the ice cream you want at Superstore or Sobeys.

3rd the motion and it passes. I've added the pic to the proper nomination thread in the Showroom. Nominated pics should be posted there. Thanks.

Over in Paris, IL they still have one of the original style walk up Dairy Queens with no inside seating. I'm unsure if they stay open for winter or not.
