Watching parents and children make impossibly small snowmen in the patch of grass outside my window.

The pre-storm shopping trip:

• healthy veggies = check
• dip to cover healthy veggies with = check
• beer liters of diet soda = check
• non-perishable food items in case the power goes out that you really hope you never have to actually open and eat = check
• sushi = check
• massively expensive items you don’t normally buy (of course I need lobster meat in a snowstorm! it’s protein!) = check
• recovering from the shock of seeing some bread left = check

Long video game sessions.

A socially acceptable excuse to stay in your pj’s as much as possible and go nowhere near the outside.

Cheetos as a food group.

Yak Trax = no falling on butt in parking lot.

A chance to really clean the house.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHA That thing I just said was so funny.

Time to do internet research on important topics like ‘where should I eat after I dig myself out the snow finally melts off my car?’

Avoid calling friends who now live in places where year round ‘snow’ is something that comes in a paper cone with fruit syrup all over it.

Bonus for Snow Day #3:

Contemplating how long it will take you to trudge to the nearest place that:

1. is not your house
2. has food product
3. is not your house
