    Being Snowed In

    Assuming you are not stuck on a highway, there is something cozy about being snowed in. We all know the excitement of waking up to find out school is canceled and everyone should have great memories of playing in the snow.

    Binge Watching

    If snowed in, you can feel less guilty about binge watching entire seasons of TV shows. I would like to recommend House of Cards and Breaking Bad. My son will toss Silicone Valley and Game of Thrones into the suggestion bin. My wife is partial to How to Make a Murderer, Orange is the New Black and that show with the talking dogI've included a link to a season one preview of House of Cards.
