When you experience two monster snow storms within four days of each other (total of 38"!!), you need to be prepared with fun activities to get you through the homebound days. Somehow we survived Snowmageddon Parts I and II, so I thought I'd share our tips on surviving the madness!! 
VERY important tip - become friends with a neighbor who owns a Bobcat. It makes shoveling out the driveway after Part I of the storm so much easier!!
Get together with your neighbor-
hood friends and pull each other around on sleds.
Make a comfy seat so you can relax and chat about the massive amounts of snow.
Come back inside and warm up by baking Valentine's Day cupcakes!
Nothing keeps you warm like cupcake batter!
Show off your Valentine's Day outfits!
Practice your best modeling smile :)
Play multiple games of Strawberry Shortcake Memory.
Surviving a snow storm this huge can be very tiring. Don't forget to take a nap!
When Part II of the storm hits, think long and hard before you go out to play - this kind of weather isn't fit for man...
...or beast!!
burgers...
...it's probably not a good time for an outdoor BBQ!
Try some snow art - a water bottle filled with food coloring can make you feel like a winter Picasso!!!
Pretend you are Queen of the World!
When the roads are FINALLY passable, get the heck out of Dodge and visit some old friends from Ohio who are in the area!!
Make new friends while staying warm inside.
Have a super fun day with an aunt and an uncle who live far away, and end the day with an awesome movie night!
Playing with Alienware is always a great way to pass the time... :)
Last, but not least, learn your first word!!! Way to go, Tickle Me Claire!!!
