I too came from a small town. We had a hiil behind our house that when it iced in the winter, instead of salting the roadway the mayor would have the town block the road on both ends so the kids could slid down. They used everything from baking pans to cardboard. It was nice because they thought of the kids. I have seen the kids in the winter take water out and pour on the road to freeze up. They were desperate, we don't get much snow here in Louisiana.
