Sarah Veazey sent this picture over from today's snowstorm, which dumped two or three inches of snow on the Veazey property on Lockport Road, Oakfield.

"Perfect sledding whether," Veazey said.

Unfortunately, the Veazeys' annual snow box derby has already been canceled for 2012 because of lack of snow.

Nearly 100 people showed up at Veazey Hill on Lockport Road in Oakfield today for Genesee County's inaugural "Snowbox Derby."

The rules are pretty simply -- you build a cardboard sled (you can use only cardboard, glue and duct tape -- and then ride it down the snow-covered hill.

Prizes were given out for fastest and most creative. 

There were dozens of entrants.

Some cardboard sleds were fast and quickly made it to the bottom of the 150-yard-long hill. Others barely made it past the starting line.

The event was organized by Sarah and Kevin Veazey.
