Snow Day Memories

So reading about Mexico, NY's winter wonderland reminded me of the Blizzard of '99. In a matter of hours we received 3 feet of snow on top of the 2 feet we already had. We had Thursday, Friday, and Monday off because it was so bad and it was the coolest 5 day weekend ever.

My brother, neighbors and I spent the days off tunneling through our front yards, creating the most intricate snowball forts. If I remember correctly, it wasn't even all that cold or windy, just really really snowing so it was perfect for playing outside. I was in 7th grade, so I was still young enough to go outside and act like a kid, not that I wouldn't do it again if it happened right now. Sooo much fun.
