I have some top secret information. I love snowfall. I love winter. I love the quiet that surrounds you. The gift of cuddling up in flannel a little longer in the morning. The familiar rumble of the snowplow. The idea that you can't go anywhere except by foot. The fun of bundling and bundling and bundling to go over to your friends house and then unwrapping a wet pile in their entryway and putting on your slippers and enjoying the fun of a snow day together. We can watch movies. In the daytime. With no guilt. That's fun. Or we can make elaborate meals all day and have a fantastic meal before the sunsets. Or perhaps we'll trudge over to the IGA (which never closes) and get chocolate chips and bake some serious cookies, or a serious sweet. Or we can roll around in the living room and play blocks and make a fort or a nest and read books all day.
What snow days give you is the gift of quiet time. It feels wholesome and reminds us of being children. It makes us stay home, get cozy and enjoy our families. And those are some of the secrets of loving the snowfall.
