The Snow is Here!

Snow now covers the ground in Animal Crossing: New Leaf! But before I fully explored my snow-covered town, I ran into Katie. She wanted me to take her to a new town.

Katie: I was in Charvale just before coming here again. It's just as cool as I remember it!Around that time, I saw that Tiffiny was opening the gate to her town Auctus. So I took Katie there.

Katie: OK, I'm gonna go see what Auctus is all about!I also met Tom and Spooker there. I saw that the flower clock looks really nice with the snow on it.

The snow-covered flower clock.Tiffiny and I exchanged perfect fruit before, so I again offered her a basket of perfect peaches. She gave me a basket of perfect pears, which I will use to feed my villagers when they ask for fruit. While there, I visited her Re-Tail to sell my remaining baskets of perfect peaches that I’ve been accumulating for a while. They earned me 162,000 bells! Peachy.

Reese: Well then...I could probably part with 162,000 bells for all of it, if that sounds OK with you?Her town was really beautiful. I joked that even Re-Tail looked luxurious, with all the rococo furniture in there. She even has sign boards of her villagers, which was a really nice touch.

Custom-design signs of Tiffiny's villagers Shep and Marina.Unfortunately, she doesn’t have a dream address because she considers her town a work in progress still. If she does eventually make a dream available, I may add it as an entry to my Dream Suite Adventures page.

After my short visit was over, I returned to Forest and deposited my money into the bank. My balance topped three million bells for the first time.

Your current balance is 3,130,000 bells.I temporarily ended my game, but I picked it back up later on. As I made my way around town, I saw that snow made some public works projects look quite different. For a moment, I thought my zen garden had Christmas trees in it!

My zen garden PWP with snow in it.My pyramid had also accumulated some snow on it.

Snow on my pyramid PWP.Crazy Redd had a tent up, and I was only able to eliminate one of his items. So I chose one of the three paintings I needed, a dynamic painting. I’ll find out tomorrow if it’s real or not.

Redd: I see! Ya seem to be really close to that dynamic painting, yeah?I made my way up to Main Street, and Luna told me that Adam from the town of Popcorn was my most recent dream visitor. Thanks for visiting, Adam!

And in T&T Emporium, I bought my fertilizer (as I do each day), and Leif thanked me for picking up more than my share of fertilizer from him. He probably could have worded that sentence better, because I imagined a dog owner cleaning up after his dog.

Leif: Now, Jeff, I know you've picked up more than your share of fertilizer from me...But he rewarded me for buying 50 bags of fertilizer by giving me a golden shovel! Leif tells me it makes the fertilizer extra potent. I think he just means it has a stronger manure smell.

I got a golden shovel! That makes me really special!On the second floor, Timmy was selling a festive tree for the first time. I bought it for my house, although I’d prefer a large one.

Timmy: Ah, a festive tree! A fine item, yes?Kicks had some Santa boots for sale, so I snatched them up and put them on. Now that I have them, I can go back to ignoring his store again.

Kicks: Hey, some Santa boots.Back in town, Benedict was talking about how hearing jingling bells puts you in the Christmas spirit.

Benedict: The sound of jingling bells really puts you in the holiday spirit. Jingle, jingle, jingle, jingle...He then joked that just repeating the word “jingle” isn’t quite the same as hearing actual bells. Good point, rooster.

Benedict: Of course, just saying it isn't quite the same as using actual bells, buhk buhk.I spoke with Rolf, and he suggested a zen clock as a public works project. Sorry I forgot to get a picture of it, but I’ll try to add that tomorrow.

Rolf: You should talk about funding a zen clock!I had some trouble finding my snowballs today, but once I did, I was able to sneak up behind one and grab a dung beetle! I now only need two more insects.

I caught a dung beetle! Nah, the joke's just too easy.And once I was able to round up two snowballs together, I made myself a snowman. It turned out perfect, so the newly-formed snowman offered to let me play bingo!

Snowman: As a token of appreciation for you making me so wonderful, let's play a game of bingo!He gave me a bingo card, filled with numbers, and then he rolled his eyes at me. Literally! His eyes have numbers on them, and he rolled an 11.

My bingo snowman with eyes that show the number 11.My bingo card had an 11 on it, so I was able to punch that number off. I was also able to punch out the center–that was a freebie. You can get special items by making a bingo (five numbers in a row on your card). He encouraged me to visit other towns, as friends’ bingo snowmen can mark off numbers for me too. Sounds like a plan!

Snowman: You may be able to get a bingo more quickly by traveling to other towns with other Snowmen.After that, I decided to change my brick path. Here is a picture of my new path, along with my illuminated tree, metal bench, and fountain.

My ice brick path near my fountain, illuminated tree, and metal bench.I have also added that picture to my town page. If you’d like the brick path, it’s available on the QR Codes page.

And just for fun, here’s a picture of Rolf and I sitting on my bench.

Jeff and Rolf sitting on the metal bench.Unfortunately, there wasn’t an igloo in my town today. But on the bright side, there’s still more new winter fun to come! Enjoy the snow, everyone!
