Until I was 9 yrs old, I lived in Yakima, WA. We got tons of snow every year sometimes before Halloween. I remember bundling up in my bibs and moon boots to play in the snow for hours. We never actually had "snow days" off from school, but would race home in the afternoon before dark to have snow fights, play in our snow forts, and make snow angels.
As an adult, I love taking the day off work when it snows. Okay, maybe it's just a good excuse to play hookie. It satisfies my childish side. Even if I never actually get outside to make snow angels, I enjoy myself immensely. I either stay under my bed covers and sleep and watch Oprah while drinking some hot cocoa. It is blissful to take a break from my busy life.

Too true. Truth is, sometimes there's nothing like a big ol' blizzard with eight good inches of snowfall. Just to remind you how little we humans really are ...
