Finally a snow day

Having lived in Michigan for four years, I know the meaning of the word 'snowstorm'. However, that meaning is a little different here in New Jersey. Any snowfall above 1 inch is considered a snow storm. We've only had little more than flurries this whole winter, so finally a whopping 4 inches fell, the schools were closed, and the kids hit the sledding hill conveniently located on the side of our house. Not being used to such harsh winter conditions, they only lasted one hour outside. Seeing it took over an hour to locate all the snow gear and then suit everyone up, I'm not sure if it was worth it! They probably beg to differ.
