There are many reasons that people of all ages love the first snow of the year.  For kids, the number one reason is simply the announcement that "School Is Closed"!  The night before and the early hours of the day find parents and young people glued to whatever news source is the quickest to deliver the good news.

An unexpected break from the normal routine of the day when our fast paced lifestyles grind to a slow crawl.  Many times, the anticipation of the weather reports are held in the questions of how bad will it be?  Which is a statement that can often times be translated into how "great" will it be?

Communities are often paralyzed as grocery stores are often bombarded by shoppers to make sure that they have enough of the traditional "Milk and Bread" to survive the unknown time that a family will be captured at home.

So what are your TOP TEN reasons you love a snow?  Is it the chance to get your kids out in the snow to experience their "first time" play day, or is it you as an adult get a chance to be a kid all over again?  Could it be that you get a chance to catch up on work around your house?  Or maybe it's a chance to spend time locked in with your family?  Maybe it's a great chance to go on a great hunting excursion with friends?  Or maybe it's simply a chance to have "Snow Cream"? (some people don't even know what that is I bet)

Whatever your reason you find enjoyment in your snow day, there are always those that make that fun possible.  Even though you may be stranded, others are working hard to get things back to normal as quickly as possible.  These groups of people work hard behind the scenes, many times into the late hours of the night and morning to make sure routes are cleared.
