We got 18 inches of snow here in Madison! So basically the whole city is shut down! CRAZY! Enjoy your Snow Day!
Here in the North of Germany we await winter on the weekend. All the days we had rainy “worm” weather. On sunday it will probably become very cold, maybe some snow.
Your ideas for the snow day are wonderful!
