A history-making snowfall in many parts of the northeast including the Big Apple! Better late than never. And the media can't get enough of it, nor can I, which explains how I came across this attention grabbing pair of sentences in todays New York Times article, "New York Region Digs Out After a Record Snowfall":

"The season's most popular sledding device is a something that looks like a beach toy — an inflatable plastic donut with a liner on the bottom of the hole. 'These tubes are all the rage,' said Mellissa Green, 39, of Brooklyn, who found her two young children after bedtime staring out the window at the snow."

Familiar? It should be because we've been trumpeting our praise for quite some time. Like years... Most recently, check out the mention in the Epoxy vs. Calk, Marine Wax vs. Water Stains newsletter or listen to my rant on Tuesday, February 7 in the "Squaw Skiing Update and Truckee Dining" blog posting. Let's face it, every "kid" who has access to snow absolutely loves Tube Pro Snow Tubes!
