Anyone else over all of this snow and ice? I’m ready to start thinking spring and warmer weather and ice cream. Is it too early? Probably. I’m starting with my list from last year and let’s get some dates on the calendar!
NOTE: These do not include places to get ice cream that are open year-round, this list is of seasonal locations or seasonal “ice cream windows.” When it says “yet to announce” that is based on social media and website postings. If you know otherwise, feel free to message me to update.
