SAN JOSE, CALIFORNIA - 30 years ago, (February 5th, 1976 to be exact), a 14 year old boy went out into his front yard to play in the snow. Just about all the neighbors were out, adults and kids alike: taking pictures, making snowmen, throwing snowballs, and having a lot of fun.
So, why all the fuss? It’s just snow! Well in San Jose, California where they haven’t seen snow since, it was a rare event indeed.
In an attempt to preserve the moment, the excited kid made a snowball and put it in the freezer. Today that snowball is still in his mom’s freezer and is the oldest preserved and documented snowball on record.
More on the old snowball here.
