Winter Wonderland

It’s freezing outside and there is two feet of snow on the ground. You are bored and there is nothing worth watching on television. So what do you do?

The residents of Bismarck, North Dakota have found the solution to these winter doldrums. Snow Angels!

For those of you that have never lived in an area that gets snow, I will now describe the “snow angel”.
To create a snow angel you must lie down in the snow and move your arms up and down in the snow. However, you must be careful not to lie down in the yellow snow.

The city of Bismarck entered the Guinness Book of Records in 2002 when 1,791 people made snow angels on the state Capitol’s grounds.

Much to the chagrin of the citizens of Bismarck, students at Michigan Technological University beat their record by making 3,784 snow angels.

Bismarck residents decided that they wanted to get back into the record book. The curator of education for the State Historical Society of North Dakota said 8,910 people registered for last Saturday's attempt to break the record. It’s not official but I think that they'll have the new Snow Angel record.

Will the making of snow angels become the latest wintertime fad? I don't know, but sometimes we just need something that will take away the winter weather ennui.

There hasn’t been any snow here on Treasure Island; therefore, we have no shot at the “snow angel” record. Maybe we can try for the “sand angel” record, if there is one. I can just imagine 5000 or more people flapping their arms and legs on the beach and making sand angels. For me, stretching out in the sand would be a lot more pleasant then stretching out in the snow.
