Jim Plukart
Wow! Jim Plukart dedicated a lot of time investigating this Frozen Hybrid. He tirelessly illustrated of the frozen being, obviously from local first hand accounts, and then rigorously set up hidden equipment to photograph her. The final evidence is astounding!
Found: Sheharzad Arshad!
This image was posted on the blog about a year ago. Thanks to an extra helpful internet sleuth, I was directed to the image's author, Sheharzad Arshad. If you chuckled as hard as I did, upon viewing the image, visit Sheharzad's webstore.

Featured Cone: Joe Keinberger
Joe Keinberger has uncovered a little information regarding the mythology surrounding the Snow Goblin:
"A lesser Frost Imp, or Snow Goblin. Charged with the task of freezing small ponds and streams in winter. Called "Little Frost" in parts of Europe, is known as a patron saint to lost pets, often leading them home through blinding snowstorms. Has been credited with changing pails of cream into ice cream, for sick children who leave them outside their doors on New Year's Day." Travels on the North Wind in his tiny ice cream cone, steering with his candy cane staff."
