One of the kids decided to act as a lookout and tell the rest of us exactly when to toss as a group. We coordinated it well and made some rather dramatic hits. Our snowballs got bigger and bigger and this escalated to the point where guys were taking the frozen snow off the top of bushes and two of them would heave it together over the fence. Then one guy picked up a huge frozen top and several guys tried to heave it but couldn't, so he picked it up himself, ran to the end of the fence and, with the signal of our lookout heaved it onto traffic.
A 15 pound mass of frozen snow landed right on the windshield of a moving police car.
We all exploded, running in a half-dozen directions and the cop never caught any of us.
