as an east coast child, snow meant freedom! not having to go to school, getting to play outside in the middle of the day, assignments or tests getting delayed, etc. i never thought about how people from the west coast have a completely different relationship to snow as an adult than east coasters - i miss when it meant relief from responsibilities and/or guaranteed coziness.
I've always thought snow days sound so magical. It feels like part of the joy of a snow day is that it's given — like as a child you're told, get out of here! go play! And as an adult (and with so much being remote now), snow days are no longer given; we have to take and create them ourselves. And that isn't as fun! So... what if next time it snows a lot, we give each other snow days? I'll be like, Nancy, you must take a snow day!!!
