Nothing makes children happier (and some parents) than the unexpected day off from school. An excuse to sleep in. No lunches to make. No schedules to keep. I love being stuck at home with a fire going and a book to read. I don't know that I actually get cabin fever. As a kid we had snow days because we had very hardy school bus drivers that could handle most roads. It had to be deep drifted snow or blizzard conditions to cause a snow day. Many times if this was the weather we wouldn't have been able to get to the bus even if there was school. So later in the day that usually meant a trip out to the corrals where the drifts would make magical mountains to dig a tunnel or cave into.
Now where we live and are raising our kids there isn't enough snow for a day off. But it can ice up nicely. No bus driver wants to be sliding sideways down the high way towards oncoming traffic with a bus load of law suits. We all stay home : )
