SNOW!!!!!
it took an hour to make my normally 10 minute commute home today. i think out of all of the natural phenomenon i've been exposed to( and i can say that i've been through some doozies), snow is my favorite. so what if it's cold and you get stuck at home? there's food, there's cable & heat (unless the power goes out - although there's still candles & blankets), and with snow you get snow days, snowmen, snow angels, and snowball fights!
