Snow storm folk lore for kids everywhere: the snow day ritual is this: On the night before a potential snowstorm, if you wear your PJs inside out and put a spoon under your pillow, you will have a day off from school the next day. The bigger the spoon, the deeper the snow.

Also, you should flush one ice cube down the toilet for every inch of snow that you want to fall.

Now, go get the kids and show this post to them. Be sure to tell them that, since this information is on the internet, it’s all true!!
