On a Snowy Day

I think snow is pretty when it is fresh on the ground, but I still hate it. I don't go anywhere that I don't HAVE to go when it is snowing or after it has snowed. It is too cold and there are too many stupid people on the roads. I stay home and keep warm. That is about it.

Oh, I so envy your snow! We're having warm days now - no snow for us ever where I live. Last year we took an hour drive up north to go find some snow . . . by them time we went, much of it had already melted. But we did find some large patches along a road where we saw a bunch of people sledding (or pseudo-sledding with objects that can be used as sleds) and we jumped in on the fun with them. I happen to find a coaster earlier in the year (for free), so we were able to finally make use of it. The snow was half melted or too iced up to make any snowmen, but it was fun to attempt it. In any case, it was my daughter's first experience with snow and she loved it - particularly the hot chocolate too that I packed up that we drank in the car afterwards. That's what we did as kids with our local snow too . . . sounds like poor-man's snow, eh? Hee hee. Say, what is snow cream???

what is snow cream? I have never heard of it. We spent most of yesterday and today watching movies and spending time catching up with each other. the kids went sledding and then we all took the dogs out for a run and romp in the snow. I love it but...it is still too treacherous here to drive. NC is under at state of emergency still. It might get to 32 today and then down to 12 tonight. Supposed to be awful for the rush hour tomorrow. Schools will most likely be closed.

hi dorannmwin: i walk outside in a snowy day,because snow is very rare in my city.in the snow, i feel it's very quiet around, it's so romatic. shawn

I'd go ice skating at an outdoor rink, I'd buy smth sweet and go home, Id have lunch and have desert, then I'd curl under a blanket with a nice book...

I'm deffinatly with you on sitting in front of the fire, but I also like to see my girls go out and have a blast in the snow. It brings back good memories, but it seems the older I get, the less I like to get cold.

I like to knit or read while curled up in a blanket on the couch. When I was a kid I liked to build snowforts and slides.

not unlike you, when i was growing up we used to go sledding. i lived not far from a golf course that had some pretty good hills. my kids go sledding and go ice skating. as for me, i am with you. i will curl up with a good book inside anyday!

I used to love to go sledding, build snowmen and forts, or have snowball fights when I was a child or when my own were young. Coming indoors always involved hot chocolate and grilled cheese sandwiches. These days, I love to take a slow drive while it's snowing or a walk...so peaceful and quiet outside. Inside, I love to light candles and curl up with a good movie or a great book or some writing. Dosing curled beneath a blanket while watching it snow outside is also nice. I really don't mind it too much until close to March, and then I get "hungry" for spring! Karen

A few years ago my husband and I went to Gatlinburg, TN. We were lucky to get snow while we were there, so we rented an incredible chalet, the hot tub was outside on the deck. We heated it up as hot as we could stand. And we soaked inside the hot tub, had us a cocktail, and watched the beautiful snow fall. It was wonderful.

the best thing i want to do snowman on a snowy day.there is not alwayse snow every year.so i have few chance to do like that.so i expect to do this thing.when i was child,my neighbors do a beautiful snow.it is ancient girl and looks wonderful.i dont know my neighbors can do well.so i am admire of what she done.so i hope that i can do myself.but it make me regret that i dont meet snowy day after happen in childhood.the weather get warmer and warmer this year and spring would be coming.i have sea the flowers in the tree,i see that this year still regretful year and not realize my will.

Because I'm not very resilient to the cold and cold weather in general, I prefer to stay in on snow days. My favourite is making a steaming mug of hot chocolate and wrapping myself up all nice and warm as the snow falls outside. You just can't beat the beauty of it

In my recollection,the snow is the same as a really good thing.In my living place is never snow,so I very much hope to see once the snow.Be able to try what you say activity,i think,should be very interesting.

I'm afraid I'm still a big kid at heart, my favourite thing to do is either start a snowball fight, or build a snowman. I love snow! Have been having great fun in the past few weeks. Sledding is definitely fun too though, I take a tray and go to the local park which has some nice hills in it. I also play catch with the dog who loves to eat the snow.

hi drannnmwin if it snowed here, which is most unlikely in that it has not in thirty or forty years, I would move someplace else. I had enough snow the first thirty years of my life in South Dakota to last a lifetime so no no snow for me. Sunshine, and fog, and maybe a little rain but no snow at all. ugh. My favorite thing wwhen it snowed as a kid was hot cocoa with marshmallows, and a bowl of chili or beef stew, or spaghetti with meat and tomato sauce or cheese and mac, all comfort foods on cold zero below blizzarding days when you did not venture out at all. So I still love spahgetti and meat balls and cheese and mac or beef stew. my favorite foods I grew up with as a cold weather kid.

Living in South Florida we don't get snow days. However,when there is a power outage or a reason to stay in the house, we pull out our vintage board games. Amazing how much fun one can have playing the same games we used to play as kids.
