My First Snow Day

By Casebook Sherpa

So, a co-worker asked how long it had been since I had a snow day home from school. It would have been super-cool if I could have said something like, “Man not since the Blizzard of ‘74.” You know, some date that really put some age on me, maybe some gray hair. Actually, my last snow day was January 2000. We got a pretty good ice and snow storm in Richmond (where my college is located) and, if I remember correctly, we missed two class days.

Sadly, I could not follow up my rather boring college kid blizzard capers with an inspiring rendition of my wild snow night plans, with all the reading I have to do. I must be getting old.

My favorite snow day has to be the blizzard we got in 1993 (I think that was the year; I was a freshman in high school). I spent the night at a friend’s house so we could get first tracks on the sledding hill and then we played the most epic game of snow football known to man - 4.5 hours of smashmouth football. (I’ll admit to wearing sleeves though)

what was your favorite snow day?
