What's in a Snow Day

Why do we like snow days?  And what is it about snow we find so pure?  I'm not here to lecture, but honestly ask the question.

     I've wondered for a long time what it is that makes snow snow appealing, but I've  never come up with a satisfactory hypothesis.  For most of humanity's existence, snow has meant death.  But even in those dreary times, people found beauty and wonder in the flaky white stuff.

     And what makes a snow day so appealing.  I understand that for kids it is a way to get out of the boring drudge of school, but as adults, it kinda means your trapped, and again, in antiquity, snow day equaled no crops, no wagon travel, and most likely death.

     Yet all over the world, even in countries that never see it, and in places where life is worst, snow is seen as a symbol of purity and peace.  I wonder why?

     If anyone can explain this, I much appreciate it, and to those who wonder with me, we'll find it some day, the snow day connection.

     Till then, bye!
