How to Get a Guaranteed Snow Day

First, I want to point out that this guarantee does not hold water if you live in Texas, Hawaii, Florida...or any other place where it is warm.  I take no responsibility for that.

On the night before you want a snow day, you should perform the following tasks:

Step One- Do a snow dance in your front yard: 

Step Two- Eat Ice Cream:  

"Hee-aaay there creamy frozen treat!"

Step Three- Turn your pajamas inside out before you go to sleep:  

Step Four- Sleep with a spoon under your pillow:  

(I find it works best if it's also your ice-cream spoon to help with any midnight hunger pangs.  Be careful, ice cream melts fast...even here in New England.)  

Ta-Da!  You should wake up in the morning, flip on the news, and wait to see your school's name crawl across the bottom of the screen.  Instant snow day!  

P.S.  It also helps if the weather forecast looks like this:  

We're somewhere in the lovely shade of fuchsia.  Twenty-one inches of pure, fluffy-white cold stuff.  

Stay warm and classy, New England.
