Here in New England we're supposed to get a blizzard with a foot of snow starting tom - so it got me thinking - what do you like to when you are snowed in & can't leave the house?

Myself, I like to bake & read a good book.

Well I am in Texas so I don't know lol

Hummm due to living in Texas where blizzards are just a name to us... hard to say..

But now we do get iced in due to sleet ect for a few days~~~ or just cause it is too cold for us like now and we are not use to it. I tend to spend those days in where it is warm watching movies most of the day... or playing online.....

catch up on the mending and break out the cribbage board

Texas iced days last..whst a day?

My disability keeps me indoors for long periods of time.
I'm never really bored.

You can rearrange things. From a dresser drawer to that closet you dare not open. What's in your junk drawer?

I watch a lot of movies online.
You can stream nearly any movie you can think of online for free.
There are a lot of full movies on YouTube.

I work on my mp3 collection.

I read, mostly science fiction and fantasy.
You can find a lot of books online both in eprint and audio formats.
Youtube has audio versions of books as well, with and without voice actors and sound effects.

You can explore the internet by typing random words in a google or search engine and see what comes up. Negative Mass Tachyons? Healthy Self-Esteem? Use Google maps or Google Earth to explore places. Angkor Wat? Beale St in Memphis? French Quarter in New Orleans?

You can do nearly any crafts with what you have around you.
Color a picture, carve a cross, build a shelf...

You can also just sit and exercise your mind, recall memories, imagine a fantasy.

Right now I am slicing veggies for my dehydrator.
I dehydrate veggies for use in soups and stews.
In the spring I dehydrate fruits.
In the summer I dehydrate jerky.
My dehydrator cost me under $100 at a flea market.
You can use an oven as long as it gets down to 200 deg or less.
Set a timer and rotate, turn, move it all around.

I've also made my own candy.
Believe it or not red grapefruit rind candy is delicious. LOL

You can also pickle veggies.

Got to the store and pick up some almond bark or craft chocolate and some molds. Make some candy.

Snowed in??
The closest I know of people ever getting snowed in was I believe in the UK several years ago.
I doubt if it ever happens in the Netherlands, although I'm not 100% sure. I don't live in the part that gets hit by the most snow, which is the east of the country. And even though the country is minute, weather differences are substantial.
I remember as a kid we could get about a foot of snow, maybe sometimes more. But I think a foot is already pushing it.

lol. I should have addressed the post to only people who lived in places where it snows!

Sounds good, chris. Baking and reading a book. Watch movies. Do some house cleaning.

It does snow over here, just not like getting snowed in.

If we would have that sort of thing, I'd want a wood stove, get that going, sip glühwein, typical winter meals and soup, nice music. As for the rest, pretty much the usual I think.
Best would be to get snowed in with a nice bloke

Actually that sounds wonderful - the bloke part - nice way to keep warm!

Yes! And sitting in front of the woodstove with glühwein, cuddling, kissing, loving and caressing, then letting that stir up the inner fire, hmm... I'm game!

I like to leave the house.

I like to bundle up, put a few "survival" supplies in a backpack, then go out and walk/drive to the closest national park/forest to my house, then trudge through to a place where I can't hear, see, or smell the highway, the street, or concrete or telephone wires or civilization, then hunker down, start a little fire or not, and listen to the dead silence, occasionally interrupted by a deer or squirrel or gust of wind or just the falling snow.

Sometimes I just drive around or wander around the normally main streets.

When the weather/news or conditions are telling me not to leave the house, IMO that's the best time to leave the house.
Depending on the time, you can go out and feel like you have the whole planet to yourself.

Yeah, when I was young if it was a lake effect blizzard it was snowmobile time.
Heavy snowfall was wonderful in the woods, like a blanket of peace.
Didn't mind the cold, or the snow, it was the wind that made it rough.

I passed another guy on my way home from work one time and we both hit the same slush-puddle from opposite directions on a two-lane.
My windshield instantly froze with a 1/4 inch thick sheet of ice.
I had to open my door and stick my head out to see to get off the highway. Scary!

Light a fire. Make some hot toddys. And sleep till March.

Wank. Sorry, seems to be typical retirt

Snow... what's that? I'm in so cal and our daily highs are still in the low 70's.

I live on the Jersey shore and we got a foot., blizzard conditions and bitter cold.
You prepare for it the day or two before with food, gas.. check the snow blower, ect ect

And then just ride it out watching t.v. and then snow blow / shoveling snow when it stops
