The other is multiple "snow days", days off of school (sometimes a week at a time) -- often after we'd only received a dusting of snow. I guess we had the mountains and icy roads of upper/western Montgomery County to thank for these days, and as I recall as a kid there were no complaints!
My kids are not at the age where they'd be excited for a snow day, but as an adult, I miss them! What I'd give for a day off, forcing us to remain home watching the snow fall. We've got hot chocolate for the Keurig, plenty of wood for the fire (I'm sure my pyro husband would like nothing more than a day at home to build a fire), and hours of Lost, 24 and Sponge Bob to catch up on.
Facebook is abuzz with snow predictions and weather reports from my DC friends. I'm sure they are frantically grocery shopping and getting ready to shovel. I am a little jealous. As we head into the weekend, it is currently snowing here ... but life in Chicago goes on outside. DC/MD/VA, hopefully you'll enjoy some cozy indoor chill time this weekend.

I have a friend in the Carolinas- and it is snowing there, too! She said everything is shut down.
We barely skip a beat here in Michigan if it is five below with 100 mile an hour gusts and 24 inches of snow.
Sigh. I miss California LOL
We're not getting anything this far south in Charlotte, but Angie your story is opposite of mine... I grew up in Upstate/Central NY where 5 ft of snow was considered a "dusting". Snow days were very far and few between even though it snowed nearly every day! I like to think of myself & all my hometown friends as "tough" for growing up in that environment. Here in Charlotte, we got barely an inch of snow on Saturday & schools were still closed on Monday! Ha, good times though. I DO enjoy the days off, cozy in the house, with the kids!
You forgot sledding on Cumberland Ave!!
