Dr. Bill shared a story with me that nicely illustrated the differences between a toboggan and a sled. As I mentioned to him in my reply, the differences between the two dawned on me only after I made my earlier post above. Living in Texas as long as I have, I’ve never really had the occasion to think about it: not a lot of snow, usually more ice. After I did think about it though, I realized that when I heard the word ‘toboggan’ used to mean a winter vehicle, it was applied to a sled!
