Let It Snow, Let It Snow, Let It Snow!

Is anyone else as excited as I am about the impending weather?!?  Super Snack Lady LOVES snow.  Super Snack Lady LOVES a white holiday season.  As a teacher Super Snack Lady still gets giddy about snow storms and the possibility of a snow day just as much as kids do.  

If you haven't heard- TONIGHT and tomorrow (Wednesday and Thursday) there is a HUGE snowstorm and blizzard heading our way here in Cedar Rapids.  Look below to see how much snow they are predicting:


As you can see, we are going to get dumped on in a major way with snow, snow, and snow.

This brings up three thing:
1) PLEASE BE SAFE. With this storm there is supposed to be very high winds and we are currently under a blizzard warning starting Wednesday night.  Stay inside, bundled up.  Enjoy the falling and blowing snow from a warm place.
2)  Get bundled up when you are going outside. With the wind chills and strong winds it will be very chilly.  While playing outside in the winter and snow is a ton of fun it is also important to remember that you have all of your snow gear on:  Heavy winter jacket, snow pants, boots, thick socks, sweat shirt, gloves/mittens, and stocking cap are all needed to stay warm in this weather.
3) Shoveling snow is GREAT exercise! You can burn a ton of calories in just an hour from shoveling snow, not to mention that it can be quite fun.  So while some people dread shoveling the snow, remember you are getting great physical activity in for the week. 


Stay safe during this winter weather!!! You can look forward to seeing Super Snack Lady at your school after the winter break.  Happy Holidays to your family and Happy New Year!
