The news coverage lately has focused on the unprecedented snow fall in Europe. While there are many sad and even tragic stories emerging from the unusual weather, I would think that by now, children in Europe are enjoying what children in Canada look forward to every winter: Snow Day! In Canada, Snow Day means we get to miss school, skip work and just stay home where it is warm and safe. In Canada, children look forward to those days when they can miss school and watch TV or play video games all day long. For many European children, this is a brand new experience. European children are no doubt also learning how to make snowmen, snow caves and to slide down slippery hills. Although the Eiffel Tower in the picture looks a little sad covered with snow, there is a smiley snowman standing in front it it - proof that a couple Parisian children enjoyed their snow day! Learning to live with snow and taking advantage of Snow Day . . . it's a good thing!
