I'm just saying, of fun things to do indoors, or outdoors for that matter, that would be my #1 pick.

Office shut down at noon yesterday due to the blizzard. Took 2 hours to get home (normally about 30-40 minutes). We ended up with about 5 inches before I went to bed, woke up to about 10 total. Some places reported up to 18" total (and up to 3 foot drifts from the wind). Because we are supposed to be used to snow, most businesses are open today so once again the commute in was wonderful only to come into an office with about 75% of the people home "sick" today.

I had a flight through Denver Friday night and was concerned the storm wasn't going to be over. Thankfully the weather didn't cause any problems, just a small dent that caused a 2.5 hour delay. The snow covered ground was really pretty from the air. . .

I was in FL last week, sunny myself and my lilly white legs in 70 degree weather. Rain in the ATL caused the Buffs to miss our flight into Eagle on Thursday. Got into Eagle on Friday, and was greeted by sunny weather. Last night, drove home from Snowmass in a blinding snowstorm. 8" of freshies!

My wife and I took the kids down to Sullivan's Island yesterday to let them play at the beach. The weather was awesome (75 and not a cloud in the sky) when we left the house but by the time we made it out to the beach the wind was blowing +40 mph. The kids still had fun but the wind was coming from the east off the water so it was pretty chilly. I guess I now know to read the forecast discussion on the National Weather Service's website before I commit. On the plus side though, it was great for flying a kite. It took about 20 seconds to pay out about 200 yards of kite string.

I was chilly on Saturday morning, but the wind made it feel like it was freezing. Did not make for a pleasant experience for the live fire portion of the concealed handgun license class I was taking, especially during the rapid fire strings when the target was blowing completely horizontal.
I thought we were going to have a neat little storm this morning, but I guess it passed. It was pitch black out for a few minutes (all you could see out the window was the parking garage light across the street), we had one good lightning bolt and crack of thunder, and then it subsided

I was in NYC yesterday and it was low 40s, drizzly, and quite windy. Pretty much my least favorite weather.
Give me cold and sunny over chilly and raw any day of the week.

^ I hate hostas. The flowers are just big enough for a bee to fit inside and sting me as I walk by and brush up against it unknowingly.
The bulbs I planted last fall are starting to sprout. The first crocuses (nice av by the way) started to bloom but then my crazy dog stepped on the one that was blooming.
I've got crocus, tulips, daffodils, hyacinth, and lillies coming in the next week or two. I've got mulch beds in the back yard where I want to plant some larger stuff as well as some veggies but I'm worried it will freeze occasionally still.
