Assuming you have power, snow days can be lots of fun.  For starters, you can sleep in on a weekday!  Then the whole day stretches out — unscheduled and open to possibilities.

Yes, there will be shovelling in addition to playing in the snow, but with a little planning, your snow day can be an extra great day:

• Keep ingredients on hand for homamde oatmeal orchocolate chip cookies.  (You can even make a batch of peanut butter or chocolate chip cookie dough, shape it in a log, wrap it in wax paper and freeze in a freezer bag.  Voila, you're own slice and bake cookies.  Just pull it out of the freezer when you head out to play.)
• If you have milk, sugar, and cocoa, you have homemade hot chocolate!
• Consider using the extra time for food prep to make homemade soup or stew. Much less sodium than prepared versions and you can add extra veggies.
• It's not a bad idea to keep a few DVDs to watch or a book or two you've been meaning to read.
• A snow day is a great craft day.
• Two words: Board games.
