Snow Day Activities For Adults — We’ve officially got ourselves a snow day. ❄️ As a kid, I remember how excited I would get for these days off school. It meant sleeping in and making snow angels in the backyard. Ah, heaven. It’s kinda funny how these feelings stay with us. I mean, I’m an adult now, no longer yearning for a day off school, and with no human children to experience it with (I love me my fur baby!), but I would be lying if I said a snow day didn’t still feel different than any other day. It’s far from that childlike excitement I once felt, but there’s still something there. I’m not quite sure how to explain it. I think it may be the way it so easily brings me to the present moment. The snow forces me to be with it, to experience it. You know, that living-in-the-moment stuff we adults strive for but so effortlessly do as children.

Waking up to a snow day takes us out of that stressful overthinking mode we are often in as adults, even for just a moment. It re-programs the brain to think for the here-and-now. “Okay, it’s a snow day, now what??” It gives us the opportunity to just be with the day. And I don’t know about you, but I could always use more of that living-in-the-moment kinda stuff.
And so today, I’m choosing to embrace this special day that was gifted to us. Even as a full-blown adult with responsibilities and work that still needs to get done. I.will.love.you.snow.day – if it’s the last thing I do! 🙃 Here are 46 snow day activities for adults; little ways to enjoy a grown-up snow day. And yes, most of the list involves cooking and eating and drinking of some kind, and no, I’m not apologizing for it! Happy snow day, friends! xx, Amanda
