It’s a snow day here locally, while we have gotten four inches overnight and its still coming down heavy, with drifts we are seeing 10 plus inches, they got it far worse in other parts of the province for sure.

Still the whole area has had school closed, buses cancelled and highways and roads closed, county offices and so on closed down as well as a official statement that this is a travel only when needed due to weather event.

A few fun things to do on snow days, of course there is ..

Number one : Make a snowman, its old fashion and it has staying power because its so simple, roll the body and then make it your own! But don’t be limited to just snowmen, you can have some fun with different kinds of snow builds.

Number Two Make Snow Ice-cream!

Number 3 (for the gardeners) Move that snow for snow pack

Now is the time where we can if in good health move some of the snow to where we would like a slower melt out in the gardens, perhaps there is a micro zone that you don’t like to warm up as fast, perhaps there is a fruit tree that find tends to bloom a touch early, perhaps you have a favorite plant that is a little tender to freeze/melts, now is the time to shift that snow to your advantage.

Number 4 – It is mild out, which is is here, its snowing but its also very mild, compared to the bitter cold we have been having, consider taking your horse out for a walk on cleared road, almost no traffic, good footing and a fun little together time.. Don’t have a horse, take the dog! Don’t have a dog, take yourself LOL

Number 5 – Get the Camera out! This is the perfect time to get some wild bird photography at feeders, they will all be coming in for a snack, get those pink cheeked photos of your little ones make their snow man or your puppy romping in the snow.
