40 Crazy & Classic Ways To Have Fun In The Snow

The less frequently an area gets snow, the quicker people are to get crazy about preparing for a snowstorm. In Maryland, we always get to experience all four seasons. There have only been a couple years that I remember making it all the way to Spring without seeing a snowflake, but we still freak out and stock up on toilet paper, water bottles, and bread when The Weather Channel announces that frozen precipitation might be a possibility. And by we, I mean Maryland. I’ve never gone out to get anything more severe than a corn dog when I know the snow is coming.

I don’t know if you’re in a place that gets a lot of snow or not, but right now my front yard is covered in a white blanket that Bug doesn’t understand and I thought I’d share a list of things you might want to do when it snows. I’ve divided it up into crazy and classic things you can do in the snow and things you can do inside when it snows.
