However, since the city is at such a high elevation, and the fact that Boulder receives 300 days of sun a year, the snow melts quickly. The snow never melts in Iowa.

Oh, yes! I remember the Nutty Fudge Sundaes! I still mention, after all these years, that there is nothing like it.
There was also a Reed's Ice Cream store across the street from the fairgrounds on University Avenue. Also, one was on Easton and, I think, 24th Street or the next street over. And there was one on SE 14th north of University Ave. a few miles up.
Funny, a few days ago I bought some fudge topping, still searching for it- that would be the same fudge topping with the pecans as the Nutty Fudge Sundaes of Reed's Ice Cream. Well, today I tasted it and it wasn't the same.
