Let it Snow! Keeping Busy Inside

Happy Monday to you!  We here in the midwest are bracing for our first significant winter storm that is predicted to begin this afternoon some time and last until tomorrow afternoon.  It is supposed to begin with sleet and freezing rain and then change into all snow and end up dumping up to a foot of snow on us!

I actually love being snowed in!  There is nothing more cozy than being warm inside with hot cup of something and watching the beauty of a snow storm.

This got me to thinking about another list!  You know me…gotta love those lists.  So with no further delay…here is a list of things to do during a snowstorm!

  1. Bake cookies
  2. Make a pot of soup
  3. Knit or crochet
  4. Start a big puzzle
  5. Blog
  6. Read a good book
  7. Surf the ‘net
  8. Catch up on letter writing
  9. Do some scrapbooking
  10. Quilt
  11. Make hot cocoa
  12. Catch up on my magazine reading
  13. Reorganize a closet
  14. Go for a walk in the snow
  15. Take a nap
  16. Make a snowman
  17. Take pictures of the snow
  18. Make paper snowflakes and hang them inside
  19. Watch old classic movies
  20. Call an old friend
  21. Catch up on paperwork
  22. Cook ahead and put some meals in the freezer
