Free Rita's Ice Day

If you live by a Rita's Ice, today is 1st Day of Spring which is Free Italian Ice.

Starts at Noon.

Enjoy!

I will be near one today. It is a shame that Mother Nature is probably going to give us water and ice today. It is definitely a snow sky here in Delaware.

The two Ritas that are close to us both closed, there is one a little further, but since they are predicting snow, we will not be going .

We first discovered Rita's about 8 years ago on the Jersey shore

Thanks for the heads-up. I have errands to run this afternoon and will try to remember to stop at Rita's. As I recall, there was a long line last year so I didn't bother. But sleet and rain are in today's forecast so maybe everyone will stay home.

@threecees, Thanks for the reminder! In New Jersey we are due for about a foot of snow, but,

Ha! Ha! And I just got an email from the Weather Service - expect 12 - 18 inches of snow.

It will go well with the Water Ice.

@drizzellla

We are now downgraded and expecting 1-2 inches later tonight instead of 4-8 inches

that forecasters were predicting yesterday.

By the time school lets out later, Rita's will be jam packed.

Italian ice with snow on top is not so good

That sounds so good but we do not have a Rita's. Instead I will have to go to Dairy Queen which is giving out free vanilla ice cream cones all day today. Italian ice sounds much yummier. But "free" sounds and tastes the best.

Just got back from Rita's and doing my other errands.

Just a few people there when it opened. I took my Mom with me.

We both got the cream ice. It was peanut butter and marshmallow.

So good!

@threecees I'm glad you made it to Rita's. The roads got to be too icy while I was running errands so I had to skip Rita's unfortunately. (five or six vehicles wiped out on Route 1 just before I got there) But I did get to Dunkin for a free medium cup of coffee!
