(Dec. 3, 2006) -- In New York City it was in the low 40s (wind chill making it feel like the upper 30s) and in Chicago it was 17 degrees (with wind chill down to 3 degrees above zero)...while Long Beach had 75 degrees and sunshine with Snow in Bixby Knolls.
Kids with their parents in tow enjoyed the annual event which brought 30 tons of manmade snow to Atlantic Ave. on Sunday, Dec. 3, organized by the Bixby Knolls Improvement Association.
Kids of various ages lined up for a ride down the icy incline.
This youngster readies a snow ball for launch.
Holiday shoppers took care of their gift lists via multiple vendors, artists and custom crafters.
This worker prepared one of his custom made creations on the spot.
There were plenty of tasty treats...
...and Sunday afternoon visitors took the time to savor the flavors.
And unlike NYC or Chicago, LB residents didn't have to shovel snow after their kids played in it.
