I have a CD-ROM which is a compilation of community cookbooks.
 It has a lot of old-fashioned recipes.   There were dozens of
recipes for "snow cream".  Here are a few:

 #161356 SNOW  CREAM  "GRANNY'S  OLD  RECIPE"

 Ingredients :
 1 egg, beaten
 Sugar (see below)
 1 c. milk
 Vanilla, as much as you want
 Fresh powder snow

 Preparation :
   You can add a little lemon flavoring if you want that flavor.
 Keep the vanilla to about 1 tablespoon if you do.  Beat egg in bowl.
  Add as much sugar as it takes to make egg stiff.  Add 1 cup milk
 and as much vanilla as you like to taste.  Beat this mixture on high
 until it is whipped good.  Slowly:  Add snow (about a big scoop at a
 time) as you mix with a spoon.  Work fast mixing, you want it to be
 cold and thick.  Keep in freezer but it's best served right away!

    flavor)
 2 eggs, beaten real well
 3/4 c. sugar

 Preparation :
   Blend all ingredients together well; add about 3/4 cup sugar;
 blend.  Add fresh fallen snow, stirring constantly, until mixture is
