Hi, Patricia;
thank you for sharing this little piece that rouses good memories of snow days back in New Jersey. I wasn't allowed to stay outside until my nose got cold because it seemed that I always ended up getting sick, but I loved playing in the snow.
Snow days were even fun when my kids went to school. We had so much fun on those 'extra' days. I found the best projects for us to work on, and the day was usually a memorable one.

Hi Patricia,
This is a very descriptive write. From your poem I could easily picture the kids in their excitement of having no school and wanting to play in the snow. I don't blame them I would like it too. I grew up in Southern California it happened a couple of times but the snow didn't stick. But I got to stay home because my mom promised if it ever snowed I'd get to stay home. I prayed for snow and it happened a couple of times. So I held her to her promise. Anyways this is a very good poem.

Thanks for the fun review.
My husband and I raised our girls in Southern California. Some ot the largest snowflakes I ever saw where in Azusa, CA. But like you say it did not stick.

Thank you for the nostalgia--I was born in Brooklyn and still remember building snowmen in the neighboring streets. I enjoyed your rhymed quatrains and could visualize the scene. Smiles- Joan

Patricia,
I enjoyed your cute poem about winter fun. You are right about the no school line. I like the rhymes & the smooth flow of your lines. You need to write more like these. Thanks for sharing. Jan

Comment from Heather Knight
How lovely! I love playing in the snow, but we don't get much in Spain. I remember only one day, when I was little, when school was cancelled.
My mum, however, hates snow because she relates it to how cold she was during the war ( she even had chilblains).
Thanks for sharing this heart-warming poem.

Thank you for the lovely review, Maria. This will probably be the last winter in my life where I will see snow. I will be moving to a very hot spot in the low desert.

A delightful fluffy day off school sledding in the new snow! I remember that snow was always welcome when I was young, but as you grow older it seems to be a curse! A lovely uplifting write Patricia, love Dolly x

Such a fun little poem, Patricia! I grew up in Hawaii so well, no snow days for us. In fact, I can't remember a single weather related school closure. But my kids did but even for them it was rare in the Pacific NW. Thanks for sharing this fun memory.
