We haven't seen any of the white stuff here in D.C. but my kids have their fingers crossed. In preparation for the first snow storm of the season, I'm buying new sleds for Christmas and filing away this fun idea.
Delia of Delia Creates was inspired by Parents Magazine to make a ice table and chairs. It's a perfect spot to enjoy hot cocoa or some chicken soup on a chilly winter day.

just wondering? wouldnt the cocoa melt the snow furniture?
have to remember this! We've done something similar (just shapeless lumps for seats and table) but not nearly so cute/neat! My son had lunch out in his little snow fort and the cocoa didn't even come near to doing any melting. It was way too much snow and way too cold outside (Michigan).
