Winter weather is arriving late with its bright white layer of snow in Lexington. This invites a range of possible activities, such as photography, snow sports, and indoor activities. People can take advantage of the snowy scenery to find amazing photos and views. Photographers can settle where the snow has freshly fallen and take breathtaking photos to share with family and friends. Places like Lexington Battle Green, the Minuteman Statue, and Lexington town center look mystical with this effect. 

Another option is to go out into the snow and sculpt with friends or family. In a backyard or open field, you can create forts, snowmen, and even snow angels. Athletics is another popular option. Have a pond nearby? Go ice skating! Lexington’s Hayden Recreation Centre also has an ice rink if it isn’t cold enough outside. Skiing, sledding, and snowboarding are also great options; Although more equipment is needed, you get to feel the wind brushing past your face as a flurry of white leaves a trail behind you. I recommend skiing as it is generally easy to learn and maintain, but snowboarding has its advantages too. Jay Peak down in Vermont is a good location for snow athletics. The views are amazing, and the paths are  unique and fun. I remember going onto the highest peak and speeding down the trails, all while being able to see the extensive trees and mountains on the horizon. It’s a good place to go if you and your family want to try something interesting.

After a day’s fun, settling down with warm indoor activities can be a comfortable option. Cooking a new recipe, enjoying a hot chocolate, and building a gingerbread house are all possibilities in the coziness of your home. So, if it’s snowy outside, remember the opportunities this fluff brings!
