Snow Day Checklist

With a threat of snow this weekend, I thought I'd dust off this family classic.

Things you can do to encourage a larger snowfall.

1. Do Your Homework  - Powerful magic here.  Like washing your car (or watering your lawn) and causing it to rain. 
2. Wear PJs Inside Out - A break from the normal...just like a snow day.  Mix and matching a top and bottom can also be effective.
3. Do the "Snow Dance" - The more energy expended and released into the atmosphere the better!
4. Read Snow Books - There are some fun ones out there.  "Snow Dance" by Leslie Evans, "The Biggest Snowman Ever" by Steven Kroll, "Snow Day" by Betsy Maestro, "The Missing Mitten Mystery" by Steven Kellogg, "Rhinos Who Snowboard" by Julie Mammano to name a handful.
5. Put 3 Ice Cubes in the Toilet - There is real science behind this; but, too complicated to explain here.  But, do not flush, because wasting water will reduce the snowfall.
6. Put a Sock on Your Door - A snow sock is best; but, only as long as you can still do #7.
7. Wear Snow Socks to Bed and Sleep with a Stuffed Animal - Obviously, polar bears, penguins, and other cold area animals are best; but, any will work as long as you keep them warm through the night.
8. Put a Spoon Under Your Pillow - Believe it!  Doubting at this point could destroy all that you've worked for so far.
