Oh yeah! There was nothing like waking up on a school morning and seeing everything covered with snow! Bonus if it was still coming down!
Then I would glue my ear to the radio and wait for the cancellation announcement. Woo-hoo! Snow day! Time to go outside, have snowball fights, build a snowman, build snow forts, etc.
Of course the radio was still glued to my ear. It was tough to pull off, especially since I had Krazy-glued it, but no matter. We had a snow day!
As I remember, our make-up days weren't really that bad. Sure, we had to go to school, but for all intents and purposes, the school year was officially over. Most of the work was light, and the atmosphere was rather laid-back.
