Kimberly Shepard of Concord, New Hampshire, didn't let the weather reports get her down. She was hoping for a white Christmas and, thanks to some quick thinking by her daughter and her daughter's boyfriend, Shepard got just what she was asking for. Flakes never fell from the sky, but Shepard's Laurel Street home was covered with 2 to 3 inches of the white stuff Sunday night when she returned home from a Christmas party.On Christmas Eve, Courtney Shepard and James Fontone shoveled two truckloads of flaky ice from behind Everett Arena - remnants of a Zamboni ice cleaning - into Richard's truck and over to the house while the couple was out. Her mother was floored when she pulled into the driveway. On Christmas day, Shepard said her phone was ringing off the hook with calls from neighbors complimenting the creative gift, and cars honked their horns as they passed.
