Snow days are one of the most enjoyable times during the cold winter months. As more and more snow shows, the more opportunities are presented for a fun snow day. From sledding, to snowball fights, to skiing, many eager students and staff are delighted for the winter wonderland. 

“Snow days are my favorite, my family and I always go sledding together. We are very active so we like being outside. We have family in Colorado so we are experienced in the snow. We go skiing down there like every other year,” Morgan Dunn (21’) said. 

Although, snow days are fun outside. They can be just as fulfilling indoors. The chill of outdoor activities can be too much for some folks. Therefore, indoor activities can be equally rewarding for many individuals. 

“I’m not a big outdoors person especially during winter. I have always not liked the cold weather. I’d rather stay inside with my dog and watch a movie. Sometimes I like to go sledding but to me watching a movie and staying in my pajamas is equally fun,” Greg Mose (21’) said. 

So weather enjoying the snow from outside or inside both are enjoyable experiences. Getting to spend time with family is one of the most important things. Therefore, the snow was a perfect chance for many families to get closer, and enjoy the winter wonderland together. 

“My family and I don’t spend that much time together, because we’re all always too busy. But having these snow days brought us closer together. We played games and went sledding together. I had lots of fun,” Madison Kastner said. 

All in all, the snow days were a beneficial well deserved break for lots of folks this winter. From activities to rest the snow days were beneficial for all students and faculty. Making these snow days one of the most enjoyable times during this year’s winter season.
