I'm a winter girl. That's all there is to it. I very much dislike the beach and I very much love the snow. Despite this, I still went to college in Florida, one of the few places without any snow right now.
While I am sad to miss out, I thought I'd give some great ideas to do with the snow, especially for those who've never experienced it before! Thus, my snow survival and enjoyment guide begin.
1. Prepare For The Cold
You need to put on heavy layers of clothes if you plan on being outside in the snow for a while. You'll need the basics: coats, sweaters, pants, gloves, boots, of course. Something important when dressing yourself that can be forgotten is a good pair of socks. Trust me, socks will save you.
2. Make A Snowman

3. Make Snow Angels
I absolutely love snow angels. You just lay back, move your arms and legs around a little while, and presto, you got it. It's just nice to stare at the sky for a little while and breathe in the fresh, cold air as well. Only down side is that you will get cold faster than normal so enjoy it before the cold seeps in!
4. Find A Good Place To Go Sledding
Choosing a good place to go sledding is essential if you want to partake in the fun activity. It should have a good hill, a good amount of snow, and not near a street. Great places to look are any local parks! So grab your board if you have, and go!
5. Have Something Hot Ready For When You Come In

Now, get out there and enjoy the cold!
