What better way to combat 6 feet of snow than to eat it?!
Though, living in the great white north (America version), people here are often loath to indulge in treats of the frozen kind, as we are ourselves often frozen. All of our tasty dishes are in some way baked, fried, or otherwise not-cold.
Anyways. "Italian ice", you can find as options at some ice cream shops back home (Maine and New Hampshire), but I honestly see more sno-cone stands and shaved ice carts. We had a large Korean population in the area I lived in in New Hampshire, so even the "shaved ice topped with soft serve ice cream and red bean paste and a ton of fruit" option was available. And is delicious.
