- Go bowling. If your children are young, strive the ‘duck-pins’ for tiny ones. Use your phone’s camera to form a slow-motion video of the snow accumulating outside your window.

Make salutation cards for residents of a neighbourhood institution. Then take a ‘field trip’ to deliver them along.

- Draw and color a mural showing a winter scene. Then droop it up in your front room wherever the kids can relish seeing it daily, or mail it to a loved one who lives in a section of the country unaccustomed to snow.
