Remember when snow was this magical thing to us. It gave us a day off school and we used to laugh with excitement getting ready to go outside and play in it.
We lived across from a school growing up and it had what at the time to us was a huge parking lot. We used to watch as they plowed and as soon as they were done, we would run over there and stalk out our "fort". Each of us would find a plowed spot and start making it our snowball fort. We would dig a spot to duck down in and proceed to make our snowballs. We would hide around the school seeing who could nail the other kid sooner with a nice big chunk of this magnificent white stuff.
Snow days were a wonderful escape. That was all you could do, was go outside until you could not take the cold anymore. Laugh with friends, and enjoy not having a care in the world.
I think we should all take an adult snow day sometime, were we build forts, go sledding, and watch cartoons to our hearts content. Instead this time, we will add some baileys to our hot cocoa. :)
