Ideally, I am reading beside a crackling fire, snuggled under a cozy blanket, and within arm’s reach of a steamy cup of hot tea. Downhill skiing, ice skating, ice fishing, sledding, snowmobiling, and snowshoeing all help fill our long winters with merriment and outdoor exercise.Īs amusing as those activities are, though, my favorite winter pastime is admiring the bright snow outside while reading aloud indoors. Minnesotans seem to find plenty of ways to take advantage of the snow and ice. Travel was nearly halted and schools closed early, but lots of folks rejoiced heartily as they shoveled. Dumping more than a foot of snow in a 12-hour period, the blizzard Minnesotans endured a few days ago went into the books as the biggest snowstorm in seven years.
