With the weather slowly—but surely—warming up, snoball season is back and thriving.
This year brings both new flavors and stands around the Capital City. Cheesecake, strawberry and even dill pickle are a few of the slurpable, sugary variations on local menus. Here’s where to find them. Hours vary, so be sure to check each stand’s social media channels or call ahead before visiting.
