Don’t worry kids, there’s no remote learning today! It’s a true snow day to play.
Go to Snowdays.me and create a snowflake!
When posting your flurry flake, write “Storystorm” in the “What’s Your Message?” box. Then everyone can do a search to find and view the Storystorm snowflakes!
As you can see, I’ve been doing this for many years!
In the meantime…
…remember the feeling of anticipation, waiting for the phone to ring at 5:30AM on a winter morning? And when it did, you knew you could turn off your alarm and dive deeper into the blankets. School is closed! Sledding, snowmen and hot cocoa await!
Can you recapture that combination of euphoria and freedom in a story?

Yes, I still believe in snowdays. I was teacher for 32 years. It’s in my DNA!

Funny, this post comes on this day, the first day my area has had a snow day in about 10 years. We went outside this afternoon and made snow cats. And while outside, I got a new idea.

A perfect day to celebrate snow. I don’t have a good snowsuit, so I’ll celebrate by watching birds at the bird feeder.

I have always loved the magical feeling of snow days, especially living in Texas where they are rare!
