Let it Snow!

Make Your Snow Day Plans

If the weathercasters are correct, the Lynchburg area is in for a winter storm on Thursday afternoon and evening.  Depending on who you listen to, we may get 2-4 inches, 3-5 inches or 4-8 inches.  Kids love snow but parents, not so much.  What's your favorite snow day activity?  Do you like to build a snowman?  Would you rather play in the snow or go sledding?  Lots of families enjoy sledding on the hill at Perrymont Elementary School.  Maybe your kids would enjoy some snow cream after a day of sledding.  Here's a great recipe from AllRecipes.com.

Snow Cream
Use a large, clean bowl to gather 1 gallon of snow.  Stir in 1 cup of sugar and 1 tablespoon of vanilla.  Add 2 cups of milk or enough for the desired consistency and serve immediately.
