Heat & Snow Cones(or the lack there of)

So today when I walked out of the apartment around 1:30pm I thought to myself "wow it feels pretty good out here." I thought maybe the temperature had gotten down to 109 or 110. Well, I must be getting to used to the heat or something because when I got in my car it said 117!!!!

So we all know Phoenix is hot, probably the hottest state in the country. Well many of you may not know that they have a ban on the sale of snow cones. Just kidding, not really, but there has got to be something going on because I have not seen one snow shack since I have been here. I really don't get it; its a thousand degrees outside and they don't have one of the tastiest, most refreshing summer time treats!! If you know me you know that this is a very big concern for me. If I was planning on living here for a long time I might consider opening a chain of snow shacks throughout the valley, but since I won't be here much longer (hopefully) I will just keep on complaining...and thinking about Hillbillies and the Scera snow shack!!

Honestly would you want to work in a snow shack with no AC in 117 degree weather? I know I wouldn't. That's my guess and by the time you get the snow cone it is probably all melted. Sorry there aren't any down there that does suck. We will just have to go and get one every day you are up here!!!

I completely agree that every small town and city in the country should have a snow cone shack but I don't know that they'd be half as good as the Hillbilie shack but at least they're cold and refreshing!! I love snow cones as well!! I guess you'll just have to wait until you come to Blanding for the 4th!:)

Lol, we may not have "snow shacks" or whatever it is you call them, but we do have snow cones... you just have to know where to look! Anywhere you see a water store (usually in little shopping strips around grocery stores) they sell shaved ice/snow cones, and usually have at least 30 flavors to choose from. Good luck on the search, and let me know if you need more help :0)

That is really funny because up here the snow shack has a line going down the street and what is more crazy is that it even has a drive through! Yes, a drive through. I told Mark that it just wasn't right that a snow shack is making that much money and that we needed to make a little comptetion!
Well, the other week, someone stole my idea and now we have 3!

Hey, this isn't related to your post, but if you're still looking for 4th of July outfits, Babies R Us has some for $8-ish. I think Old Navy does, too.

You know, I honestly don't think I've ever had a snow shack snow cone... crazy, I know. But I have had a snow cone type thing from Bahama Bucks in Mesa and WOW... delicious. They are so good. Look it up and you can go out there and get your fix. (or ask Shannon about it - she can tell you)

Oooh Nicole is right. Bahama bucks is where it's at. Muy Delicioso. But if you opened a snow shack, I would be your best customer.

You should think about opening a chain. You could make some $$$!
