What to do if You're Snowed in

It's only November and the snow has started to fall in Plymouth and other parts of Devon, as reported in https://www.plymouthherald.co.uk/news. People in Devon have shared videos showing huge snowfall in their areas, as fields and streets are covered in snow, making it difficult to see and stopping people from going anywhere too.

There is likely to be more snow in Plymouth and other areas and, if it falls as much as it has been, people in the area could get snowed in. Being stuck in the house because of the snow can be fun, though, as you can make it a cosy and entertaining experience.

Drag out the old board games

If your cupboards are full of board games that you haven't played in years, now is when you can bring them out. Sit down for a day of answering questions, rolling the dice, and trying to win as you spend some good time together.

If it's just you in the house, or there aren't enough of you to make playing a board game fun, then there are also online games with social gameplay that you can enjoy. Live casino games are a good example of games like this, with titles like live blackjack and roulette also being available at sites like https://casino.paddypower.com/p/live-casino. In live casino games, there is a real human croupier dealing the cards and talking to players, perfect virtual company for you to engage with if your friends are also stuck behind a wall of snow.

Have a good clearout

Few people enjoy tidying out their house, but being snowed in with plenty of time on your hands could be the perfect time to do it. Take out everything in your cupboards and wardrobes and put them in piles of things you'd like to keep, throw away, give to others, and things that you could potentially sell online. You'd be surprised at how many cans of veggie soup that expired in 1997 you'll find lurking in the back of your tin cupboard, or old pairs of jeans that haven't fit you since the soup ran out.

One article about selling your unwanted food items online reveals that people in the UK may have thousands of pounds of items to sell that are found in the dark recesses of their homes, as https://www.saga.co.uk/magazine/money explains. Many people in Plymouth are already selling all-sorts online, with some sites showing items such as old furniture and clothing being sold at good prices.

Cook a slap-up meal

If you were able to go to the shops before the snow began falling, then you could put all of that food together to make a great and delicious meal. Some of the best meals to make when you're snowed in are hot and sour soup and five cheese pasta bake, like the great recipes found on https://www.tastingtable.com/cook/national. These meals are warm and easy to make, so you probably won't have to go into the snow to find someone to help you cook.

If your friends live on the same street as you, you could also ask them round to eat with you. You can get many servings out of these snowed-in meals, so they can take some home with them too.
There's more fun to be had in the snow than just going to Mutley Park to throw snowballs. If you're in the house, you can keep warm and have fun while you wait for it subside.
