Well an unusual pre-Winter Arctic chill has sent the temperatures here at Cozy Creek Primitive plunging well below freezing. The whole gang here knows what that means: Scamper Pond has frozen over! Although normally it's a stream-fed two-acre pond where local kids go fishing in the summer, the Cozy Creek crew looks forward to the cold months for just this reason: ice skating!!!
Well, Scamper Pond isn't terribly deep to begin with and freezes over rather easily. Mr. Snowman dutifully went out to the Pond at sunrise and found that the ice was already a good ten inches thick and even strong enough to hold Wendy's Chubby Hubby. He burst into the workshop to tell everyone today's lunch break would be a half hour longer, so everyone could eat a sandwich, grab a steaming mug of hot chocolate and head out to Scamper Pond for some early season fun on the ice.
