Living in Montana, we experience every season. Granted, I feel like Spring and Fall don't get their fair share of time in Montana, but they're represented.

When I was growing up in Choteau, if the bus didn't run, it was a snow day. Back when I was a kid, that happened a couple times a year or so. There was nothing to do but nothing. It was GREAT.

How To Do Montana A Snow Day Indoors

There are so many fun and cozy activities that make a snow day a cozy day.

  • Put something hearty in the crockpot. The aroma will fill your house with the warm smells of supper
  • On the cooking side of things, it's always a good idea to whip up cookies, cakes, quick breads, and the like. Anything baked when the snow is falling is extra delicious.
  • Play games. Snow days are a great chance to dig out an old board game like Monopoly or the Farm Game. It's just like Monopoly with farms. We got it at MATE one year, and it quickly became a family favorite
  • Binge watch stuff in your coziest jammies with your most cozy blanket and favorite people

And THAT'S how my family does an indoor cozy snow. What do you do? Hit us up on our app and let us know.
