"We're big into the winter thing, we were going to go to Blue Mountain yesterday but we didn't quite get there, so this is the second best thing," he said.
Peter and his three-year-old son, Fox, used the first snow day of the year as a training day for bigger things to come.
"We're having so much fun doing snow angels and getting ready for all the stuff out in the snow, 'cause in two weeks we go out to Park City, Utah, so he'll get his first ski lessons out there," Peter said.
Brian Staley and his girls say the sledding conditions were perfect, but they could have used a little more of the white stuff.
"We weren't sure there was going to be enough snow, but we're doing fine," Staley said.
For Mike, who is from Lawncrest, a different approach was taken to enjoy this snowday.
"I mean there's times of course where it's too windy or too nasty out, where you can't stand here and survive, or the current is too strong. But the snow doesn't slow me down," he said.
The consensus among many of the families out enjoying the snow is that their post-snowday fun will include a lot of hot chocolate, blankets and cuddling.
