Whether there?s snow, rain or it?s hot or cold Adele?s Frozen Custard has opened on March 1 for the last 38 years, though there was one year they couldn?t open because of a blizzard. This year, they?re expecting big crowds for the warmest opening weekend on record for Adele?s. The custard is the same recipe they?ve had since 1986 though they?ve added new flavors to the menu.

Adele?s will be open daily from 11 a.m. to 8 p.m. through the day before Thanksgiving.
