What are your favorite pop culture memories from snow days . . . as in when school was cancelled? Growing up in Texas in the 1980s, we would frolic in the one inch snowfall, flailing like rebel troops on Hoth. Then, we would retreat from the 30 degree weather, go inside and watch such classic films as WARGAMES, THE DOUBLE MACGUFFIN or GYMKATA. What films did you watch?

i'm from indiana, so we needed more than an inch for a snow day. we usually got two or three a year, sometimes none (we had built in snow days so we wouldn't have to make them up) Anyways, almost all of the moms in our neighborhood worked for a school (including my mom) so we often knew way in advance if we were going to have one, sometimes even the night before which was nice (it just meant putting off homework for the next day). Anyways, it was almost tradition for the neighborhood kids to get together for a snowball fight. the fights usually lasted a couple hours. When it was time to eat a late lunch, my two best friends (who were also my neighbors) would come over to my house and we would all sit on the small couch and my mom would put a fuzzy blanket in the dryer for us. We'd then order pizza and ALWAYS watch Labyrinth. To this day i always want to watch Labyrinth when it snows a lot.

There was this one time in jr. high when we had a horrible snow storm. we got a week off of school and it was pretty cool cuz it was supposed to be our first week back after christmas break. excuse, Winter break, we're PC now.

I don't remember Watching a lotta moviez, I do however Remember "The Price is Right"....

In elementary school I would go outside and play with the neighbor kids on Snow days. Sometimes we'd only get one day other times more.


My Jr yr of HS we went back to school for one day after Christmas break. It snowed so much that night we were out for 2weeks. My Sr yr it snowed the day before we were supposed to go back we were out for another 2 weeks. I made a lot of money babysitting during those snow days.

Beating Super Mario 2 for the first time.

that sounds like a very good snow day, for some reason i always had a hard time with that one, even though it is one of my favorites

I'm from Maine, so we actually did get at least three or four snow days a year, but like someone else said, our state is used to snow so we would have to get few STICKY inches and some ice on the roads before they called school off.

Oh yeah lol and wen we DID have a snow day, we normally watched some old movies, or played in the basement, or went outside in the snow.

When I was in highschool I ussually slept in and played online ALL day.

I remember that I was excited for no school because I didn't want to go school plus my school was closed because of it that time was my birthday back in the 90's.

on snow days, I watched TV and sometimes would play outside
Read a book
eat

usually while I was outside(and inside), me, my brothers, mom, and dad would get out pictures taken

It was fun

Snowed a foot and a half in Wisconsin today . . . we watched THE LOVE BUG . . . it reminded me of when we first received a vcr back in the early
80s during winter.

My snow days were spent fooling around with my Macintosh in a nice warm house. Sometimes if it got better I would head to the mall.

But the best memory comes from a two hour delay during my senior year. Here's what happened. On Saturday night I ate some undercooked fish and got food poisoning on Sunday, yet I worked two jobs that day despite not being able to eat and having bowel problems. On Monday I went to school although my mom took me since I was a bit weak and didn't feel like driving (and being a senior there was no way I was taking the bus). It worked out fine since my school was on the way to where my mom works.

Tuesday rolls around...two hour delay. I didn't eat anything on Monday. So I'm forced to drive to school in horrible conditions. I've got almost no energy, the roads are a mess, but thankfully I can go slow. By the time I got there I was so lightheaded it wasn't funny. I barely could drive because of my lack of energy and actually went an hour before I should have just to make sure I had enough time in case anything happened. But I somehow made it there safely and awake. Well, my stomach felt a bit better so I got a Payday. It sat in my stomach and at lunch I bought $5.00 worth of junk food. That night I ate normally and by Wednesday morning I was fine and so were the roads. That turned out to be my final snow delay.
