did you get to make a snowman? I will try those tips you suggeested and when you roll the ball do you roll it over the snow that is on the ground? Also here is another tip but maybe you know it you should try to start up a conversation with Blathers the guy in the Museum. Also you can buy turnips on Sunday mornings thats the only time I see the turnip lady. I got red ones before but they didn't grow. I was planting flowers and then i was selling them in the shop so do you keep the flowers where they are and grow more then after a while get the gold can? Also i read online you cang et pari trees and also in Nooks shop if you go above gold status you get a salon

I've been making snowmen for almost a month now, when the snow first came about 11th December, it takes some practice to make perfect snowmen though. You roll the ball over the snow in the ground to make it bigger, if you roll it over the brown parts it can make it smaller, which is good if you think the second one is a bit big.
There are things called character episodes in it, they are on certain days in the year. If you download the guide from the first link I posted here, it will tell you how to start these episodes and when they happen.
I buy turnips every Sunday morning, they can sell for a lot of bells if you wait until Nook is buying them at a high price, at least 150 bells is a high price. The trick is to wait until he sells them, it can take a while. If you have a table in your house, stand in front of it and drop one of your tools where you are standing, like fishing rod. Keep your inventory open and drop the turnips, they should land on the table. If you keep the turnips on a table they won't spoil, because if you just drop them on the floor/ground or keep them in your inventory, they will spoil after almost a week. If you keep them on the table you can keep them as long as you need to so you can sell them. Just keep asking Nook what his turnip prices are every day.
The red turnip doesn't grow for long. That's actually part of a long exchange to get a photo. You buy the seeds, then wait until Wendell the starving artist comes to your town. When you see him, plant the seeds, water the turnip then dig it up. Give it to Wendell, and he will eat it. He will give you either a country guitar or turban. If he gives you the guitar, give it to K.K. Slider in the roost on Saturday night and he will give you his photo. If Wendell gives you the turban, give it to Saharah (the visitor who always loses her address lists and asks you would you deliver her items). She will give you a vase or massage chair. That goes on to get someone else's photo. The guide in the animalcrossingcommunity link has more details on who to give items to.
Flowers are for getting perfect town status, so the best flowers to sell are the hybrids. If you plant two roses, the red and white one together, you might get an orange rose the next day. There's more details about hybrids and what kinds you can get in that guide. You get the gold watering can when you get perfect town status at the town hall. I don't know what pari trees are, though. You can get foreign fruit from your neighbours. You need to start sending them letters with:
Quote
friend friend friend friend friend
Write them exactly like that, and if you send them a letter like that every day, they will give you their photos. If you don't really like someone, send them a letter like this:
Quote
And they will either send you fruit or clothes. If you get fruit, you can get fruit that's not in your town. Just use an axe to cut down a tree that's already there, dig up the stump, open your inventory, go to the new fruit and bury it. In about 3 days you'll have a new fruit tree. The fruits you can get are:
Pears
Cherries
Oranges
Apples
Peaches
Keep sending those 3 friend letters until you get the other 4 fruits and plant them around town. It's easier to just replace your old fruit trees with the new ones, as some parts of town trees won't grow.
To get the salon in Nook's, you need to have the shop Nookway, bought/sold about 240,000 bells and wifi or DS-to-DS and have someone come to your town to buy one item of furniture. I'd say when you tried to go to someone else's town their gate wasn't open, to be able to go to a town their gate has to be open first.
