How to make the most of a snow day

When you're snowed in, restlessness may seem inevitable. Fortunately, there are a few surefire ways to avoid the boredom bug and make the best of your snow day.

With services readily available, there's little excuse for boredom when trapped inside by the snow.

• These services provide countless television shows and movies, so bundle up and choose a great flick to watch that everyone will enjoy.
• Plus, a snow day is your chance to marathon that series you've had your eye on.

A snow day is an aspiring foodie's best friend, since it's as a chance to expand their horizons in the kitchen.

• Because it's cold outside, you'll want to whip up something that'll stick to the ribs. Try out chicken noodle soup, chili, baked three-cheese macaroni or any other hearty and warm meal that tickles your taste buds.

There aren't many people who enjoy cleaning, but when you're snowed in, it suddenly becomes the perfect opportunity to catch up on some housework.

• Turn on some background music or a movie to help the time go by faster while making your home more cleaner and tidier.

Board games are not only a way for the family to bond, but also a form of entertainment that can outlast any power shortage.

• A game can really inject some fun into a cold, dark day.
• If you're stuck in the house alone, jigsaw puzzles are always an option, too.

These suggestions can go a long way in keeping a person sane during a snow day, so sit back, relax and enjoy that imminent snowfall.
