Snow Storm 2016!

As I’m sure you’ve seen in the news there is a massive snowstorm hitting the North East Coast of America right now – with some reports saying it could be the biggest winter storm in decades. Roads, schools and shops are closed and it’s the ultimate Snow Day for anyone who loves the cold weather!

Here in the UK we had a bit of snow a few weeks ago, nothing like America but it was still a good excuse to dust of the sledge and have some fun! I have had many snow days over the years with the excitement of sliding down a golf course in a bath (no joke!), to racing down the park on bin lids and the unfortunate time I managed to break my arm… on the walk home!

I know it sucks when flights get cancelled and events are missed but that’s mother nature so I hope everyone makes the best of the situation, manages to stay safe and have a bit of fun!

My top tips for surviving a snow storm:

1. Look out those thermals and layer up, you don't want to catch a chill!

2. Stock up the cupboards - you could be stuck for days and what better excuse to eat Oreo's for dinner...

3. Look out candles/flashlights/head torches - it's good to know where these are just in case the power cuts and while your there find some fun board games. Cards against humanity is always interesting with the family.

4. Please also remember your elderly/vulnerable neighbours during this kind of weather, why not pop in to make sure they are ok and have a hot meal… maybe even invite them sledging! Also pets, remember your pets!

5. Be safe - don't do anything dangerous. Don't travel in a car unless you absolutely have to, don't sledge off a cliff, don't try to ski along the road whilst tied to a quad bike (I may have learned that the hard way....). You get what I mean!
