Today is snow day for pretty much everyone in Lancaster County. On Friday, parts of Lancaster County received 26 inches of snow and today, with a blizzard warning in effect, our neck of the woods is getting another 10 to 15 inches of snow. Needless to say, it’s a good day to stay indoors and indulge in your favorite comfort foods (which includes ice cream, of course!).
Below are a few photos taken here in Lancaster County over the past week.

If you’ve got a technical question about the ice cream making process or some other inquiry about the nuances of America’s favorite treat, chances are Ernie has the answer. He might not be able to answer all questions, but he’ll try his best and some may be featured on the Ice Cream Journal.
Hope everyone stays safe and warm!
Beautiful photos….so much snow!!
Too bad it doesn’t snow ice cream!
I wouldn’t mind if it was ice cream either since original vanilla is my favorite flavor. Be safe and warm.
Very pretty. It looks nice here in NJ, too….from inside!
26″ is pretty good, as far as snow totals go, but I think our Nation’s capital is the winner> Last I heard they had about 42″ with more to come.
Let it snow, Let it snow, Let it snow!:)
Very pretty! Not as much snow as we have here in Lower Pottsgrove Twp., Pottstown mailing address. Got 20″ Fri/Sat & supposed to get another 24″ today/last night. SOOO glad that I do NOT have to go out in this stuff anymore.
With our sins forgiven, we are whiter than snow,
Now thats white
Yes, It snowed here in Buck’s county too! Plenty of snow but not enough to stop me from going to the grocery store for some Turkey Hill Chocolate Peanut Butter Cup ice cream. Some days are just perfect for Turkey Hill!!!!!
Here in Columbus, we didn’t get quite that much, but enough that I’m already sick of it and wishing for summer. Summer, Turkey Hill ice cream weather!
WOW, I like the pictures and I like Turkey Hill Ice Cream.
While it is not pleasant to drive through such weather conditions, I have taken some wonderful winter photos in Michigan through the years! My dad enlarged and framed one that I took of some pine trees in our yard, and it is hanging in our living room! I am eager to get outside and take some photos of the latest “Winter Wonderland”!!
Mmmmm…looks like ice cream weather to me!
Here in Winchester, VA. we’ve had about 32″ of snow since last Friday. Went to the store twice, forgot TH ice cream both times. Chocolate Peanut Butter Cup would sure taste good after the Blizzard conditions today.
Looks like we are engulfed in vanilla ice cream–just gimme a spoon!
Wow, it looks amazing. Can you make ice cream from real snow?
Look at all that snow! Enjoy all the sledding, skiing, etc.
We’re getting battered here on Long Island with no let-up until the wee hours. It is so beautiful, unless you have to drive! Be careful out there!
When I Retired from the Navy in ’87 I stayed in Virginia Beach instead of returning to Lancaster,into for good weather and last week we had the same
THIS IS THE WINTER WITH THE WORSE SNOWFALL FOR THE PHILADELPHIA AREA EVER RECORDED! I AM ON THE JERSEY SIDE OF THE DELAWARE AND HAVE PROBABLY UP TO THIS HOUR OVER THE LAST 5 DAYS HAD 38 TO 40 INCHES OF SNOW! SAW ON OUR LOCAL NEWS CHANNEL 10 A WAY OF MAKING ICE CREAM FROM SNOW, NOT AS GOOD AS OUR TURKEY HILL THOUGH!
Always look at the bright side of life.
These photos look very much like photos I have taken here in the Syracuse area over the years. Our normal snowfall is 111.9 inches. 192.1 inches is the record set in 1992-93. fiveroom74.6 inches have fallen this winter with many more weeks left to add to that number. Skiing, snowmobiling, college basketball games, ice skating, and others are great pastimes. Staying inside, watching the snow fall and eating Turkey Hill can not be beat.
Snow is pretty at the start of winter but after the December foot and Saturday’s foot and who knows what the total will be today I am tired if it. Out pine trees are losing limbs from the weight of today’s wet snow and it is still coming down at 10:30PM For desert I had my Raspberry while hubby was in the Box of Chocolate but he also has had it with the snow and now having to saw the falling limbs before blowing the snow. Can’t wait for spring.
Beautiful pictures. Here in Western PA we have had record snowfalls, school has been cancelled for the entire week and we are in a blizzard warning. The only thing keeping me sane is my dish of Turkey Hill Ice Cream I enjoy in the evening.
Pretty in a picture especially in another state I live in Cleveland, Ohio so I know snow is and hate it
Nice pictures. Wish we had gotten a bit more snow up in the Boston area… Somehow, this storm missed us!
Looks to me like an old fashion snow storm, like when I was growing up in Central Penna. I wish I was there, miss it. Also miss TH ice cream, I cannot get it here in the peidmont of N.C. Please TH considering us that grew up on it!
Looks pretty but oooo all that shoveling.We had enough in southern NJ too.
Yes, we too had quite a bit of snow although not as much as you did! Didn’t stop us from having our Turkey Hill last night. I had Neapolitan 3 flavors nonfat yogurt. My husband had the vanilla fudge nonfat frozen yogurt. It capped off dinner quite well! We contentedly stared out at the frozen tundra from inside our nice warm apartment.
Kids make snow extra fun. We enjoyed making snow ice cream yesterday. Thanks!
I love your ice cream!
We are in pa also, with the drifting, I cannot get out my back door and thanks to the road plows, I have enough snow out front to have a private snow fence. The drifts are very high but beautiful at the same time. It kinda of reminds you of mounds and mounds of vanilla ice cream.
This has been a long winter..anyone for “snowcones”?
It is gorgous outside!! Isn’t this what winter is to be like? Talked to my son in Alaska and it is sunny, warm 33, and they have less snow than we do. Happy shoveling.
such beautiful pictures! I am in NE Ohio and we have much the same. Awesome!
There is so much snow here in Lancaster, I sometimes feel as though I’m shoveling with an ice cream scooper! LOL I have been refueling in between periods of shoveling with Turkey Hill ice cream!
The Snow looks pretty and everything so bright and clean, hate when it melts and gets ugly and dirty!
Surprisingly, for a change, here in upstate NY we didn’t get all that much snow. Guess Mother Nature wanted to spread the wealth!
It was pretty at first, but enough is enough. I’m ready for spring!
I think I’ll just stay home eating Turkey Hill ice cream and praying for spring.
so pretty….as long as you don’t have to go out there and shovel it!
Great pictures–I love snow days!!
So much for Global Warming! I am fortunate that I am only 1 mile from the nearest Turkey Hill Store. I can walk a mile for Turkey Hill ice cream!
I live near Washington DC. We just set a one season record of snow with 55 inches. The record has existed for 111 years. Everyone has cabin fever. I certainly don’t mind getting out and shoveling snow. Too much snow is bad but it makes for great scenic pictures.
Maybe the amounts of snow in other places will make Buffalo look good! Ever since we had the Blizzard of “77 everyone thinks that we have that all the time. This year is the mildest winter in a long time and most winters we get a couple of bad storms and that’s it but even then, not as bad as the other places are getting it now.
I still need my Turkey Hill to get me through the cold nights though!
We also got hit with lots of snow yesterday. It’s beautiful to look at but no so much fun to try and shovel out of.
Snowbound and housebound, but with a freezer full of Turkey Hill, who cares!
SNOW AND ICE IS JUNK! bring on turkey hill ice cream and teas!!!!!!!!!!!!1
Whew! That is just how I like my snow…in a picture! Makes me extra glad to live in California
The lack of snow almost makes up for the lack of TH 
Been there done that. I have been shoveling snow since Saturday. Then, because I live at the bottom of a hill, I have to wait for the plows to come by and then shovel out the front of the drive again. Too much snow. That is why I left Buffalo, NY.
looks no different than my house or street. We have that much snow all winter. All you have to do to make it thru the winter is order a case of TH and sit in front of the fireplace to eatit.
We live just outside of Washington, DC–now a winter record breaker–and the mayor of DC called the mayor of Buffalo, NY for advice!
It’s a crisis here in MD. No, not the 50″ of snow outside, I’ve run out of Turkey Hill!!!
today I was out in the snow too and my neighbor said that when she was a little girl, they used to make ice cream with the snow. I’ll guess that it was never as good as turkey hill, but it was a good memory for her
The snow and the photos are beautiful. Thank you snow much for the pics. My husband and I have been outside enjoying the snow with our snowmoto sled. It is snow much fun!!!! I could use a nice bowl of Turkey Hill about now. By the way, the Turkey Hill frozen yogurt is marvelous. I have the chocolate swirl kind. I could eat the whole box.
snow is good for making homemade ice crean. but it still doesn’t beat turkey hill ice cream.
Snow is nice even if you have to shovel it.
Had enough of the snow already…time for spring!
No big deal for us here in Western New York.
This is the time of year when I REALLY want to be retired! (Of course I always want to be retired.) I would love snow if I could sit inside and look out at it.
we got about a foot
Snow is pretty on the lawns. I do not like it on the driveway because I do not like to shovel it. We were lucky yesterday in Schenectady with the dusting of snow that we got.
Hope the sun melts enough so I can get my car out by Monday. I’ve had enough here in Etown.
I wonder if I could find Moose Tracks in the snow?
more snow then we have in Buffalo, NY
WOW! Beautiful!! How about make snow cream and blend in some of your favorite Turkey Hill Ice Cream??? UMMM YUMMY!!
Looks tasty,don’t see much of that white stuff on the ground here in Tucson
It is hard to decide which flavor I like best but think Choc Peanut Butter Cup is best for today.
Dynamic Duos CocoNutz is the best! We are an ice cream obsessed family and Turkey Hill is our Obsession of Choice!
The ice cream combos are like a sundae all in one container. Just add a dollop of whipped cream and a cherry. Ready to be enjoyed!
