Hannah, I hope you get more than 1/4 inch. That’s just an insult.

Amy, cute? How about life changing! ; ) (I’ll put you down for an endorsement.)

Heather, we’re looking at mid June. And people are not happy.

Stephanie, I’m the snow girl too–I get calls about my take on the forecast because everyone knows I’m watching it/tracking it/obsessing over it.

Cassidy, that’s the spirit! I love to just watch it too. Even if it doesn’t close down school.

Stephanie Morrill, extra whip is DEFINITELY called for! Great suggestion.

Green Bean Teen Queen Sarah, you would make a GREAT school librarian. We need fun, well-read media specialists.

Colene, nobody should have to go to work in the snow. That isn’t right.

Laura G, I usually can’t go back to sleep either. I’m too busy smiling and thinking of all the nothing I’m gonna do.

Michael, hope you guys enjoyed your days off. Thank goodness for side roads, eh?

Thanks for the encouragement, Erin. I know you’re through with winter, so I appreciate the kind thoughts. : )

I actually think the Snow Day Manual would be a cute book idea…

I’m so jealous. I WISH we had snow days. We already go to school through June, but snow days would actually make it seem deserved. Oh well. Carry on with the festivities.

I agree with your philosophy about snow days. I am the snow girl in my family…when a winter weather system is moving into the state I get calls from my family because they know how much I enjoy it. Snow makes me feel like a kid again and on my bad days can always make me smile. Theres just something about the miracle of snow.

You discussed attire for your snow days…well with consecutive ones (and I should really be ashamed for admitting this) I wear the same pair of sweatpants. The first day they’re comfy sure, but after lounging in them a whole day…the next day they are 10 times more comfy because they are all stretched out! Plus I don’t have a washer/dryer in my apartment.

We hardly ever get snow days, but I love to watch it snow. And if it isn’t snowing, then I like to just stare at the snow. And take pictures = ) Of course, it’s always an excuse to watch movies = ) Especially with a friend. And especially when you watch a funny movie with a friend and you’re playing board games and stuff = )
It’s the same for rainy days = D

A nice hot bubble bath to be enjoyed with hot chocolate (extra whip cream), and a really funny book.

And I’m not even smart enough to do People crosswords, so you’ve got me beat.

Snow days tempt me to switch from public libraries to school libraries!

Your manual is exactly how I would spend my snow days (or in my library world, “holidays where government agencies are closed and no one else”). And I totally cracked up about the People crosswords-they’re the only ones I’m smart enough to figure out too!haha Words-have no idea, but pop culture-I’m on top of it!:)

i think you nailed all the things i did this weekend stuck inside! we did get to go sledding (me watching and videoing) and that was nice. but then today, headed to work i got stuck, had to backtrack, and was here at almost 9. which is where i discovered my hatred for snow stems from going to work in it. a perfect monday revelation! ice/snow+work=evil. happy snow day to you

The first hour of a snow day for me is spent either sitting or pacing with a big smile on my face, thinking through my options for the day and simply enjoying my good fortune. When I get the news, I can never go back to sleep because I’m too excited.
