Great one Milton. I haven't had that pie in a while, but do have the snow :)

Aw, it's time you bake yourself a lemon pie and pile it high with a frothy meringue. Oh, and save a piece for me, okay?

Lemon pie! That is a great and creative way to compare snow.

Thanks, Miranda. I couldn't think of anything else piled so high and so delicious.
