When the Weather Outside is Frightful...

Colin Amoth

It’s finally happened, kind of. The first snow of the season has finally fallen and it looks like the almost start of a white winter. Soon we will find some of the same old problems that all of us in New England are used to coming back to life. Shoveling the side walks, scraping ice off of the car, freezing on the way to school. But as we know, not all is terrible. Along with the nippily car rides and endless shoveling, there comes a great wonderful concept that’s known to all as the snow day. Delightfully random days in which you sleep in all your worries away and cook the most delicious warm breakfast. But the imposing question still remains, what are you going to do with the rest of your day?

No one would really call this dilemma a “problem” but there is defiantly some question as to what can you do surrounded in this winter wonderland. In the opinions of many, the best way to start it off is to sleep the problem off for a little while then get some brain power gathered over a grand hotel style breakfast. After all that you should be properly prepared to take on your day.

Here are some suggestions:

Mornings:
1- Wrap up in a warm blanket, grab a cup of cocoa, and watch the snow fall outside from inside your house
2- Paint the scenery that you see outside
3- Come up with some creative Christmas ornaments
4- If you play a portable instrument, go sit by a large window and let our creativity flow

Afternoons:
1- Hit up the local mountain, or take a venture to another mountain for a crazy ski/snowboard trip
2- Sledding, snow men, anything of that nature
3- Build a bomb snow fort

Evenings:
1- Snowmobiling
2- Movie
