The superstition is if you put a spoon under your pillow or an ice cube in the toilet, it increases the chance for a snow day, or a day off from school due to inclement weather. By 4pm we have 16 inches of snow, and buddy Kenny and I are challenged to a snow ball battle with neighbors and brothers, Jeff and David. We take twenty minutes to build walls of snow and a pile of snow balls. We begin the battle which last five minutes until David gest hit in the face, begins crying and runs in the house. At 5:30 p.m. I have chili and hot chocolate with Mom, Dad and sister Jody. When finished eating, Jody and I wash and dry the dishes when it happens! On the radio, it is announces schools are closed to the two feet of snow that has fallen. We jump up and down for joy!President's Day weekend, three days, has now become four days. The next day is spent shoveling snow for money, sledding, and Kenny and I getting our picture in the local paper. The weekend is a time of football, ice hockey, hanging out with family and friends, watching the Philadelphia Flyers hockey game, and playing in the snow! Snow days are a gift from the universe!
