Do you ever wake up and frown when you look out the window to see it’s snowing? I think we all do sometimes. The extra time it takes to shovel the driveway, scrape the ice off your car, and change between snow boots and regular shoes can be a hassle. Here’s how to make the best of a snowy day in Boulder:

1. Layer up! Multiple layers will keep you warm outside, and prevent overheating inside. Make sure to cover your head! Start with an insulating base layer made of merino wool or a synthetic blend. On the coldest of days, add a fleece and then down jacket. Top it off with a GoreTex outer layer, gloves, and a hat to ensure you stay warm and dry all day long.
2. Check to see whether your car has a remote start feature. Starting your car from the warmth of your house or work is a life saver when it's parked out in the snow.
3. Make time for play! Maybe this means ski-commuting to work or the grocery store, or taking your kids sledding down the street. Either way, embracing the fun activities to be had in the snow is the best way to avoid resenting it.

While gray, cold weather can certainly put a damper on plans, try to keep in mind that the storm will pass (both meteorologically and metaphorically).
