I saw your post on Dawn's blog. Last weekend we were hit with 15 inches of snow, and we are also under a winter storm watch/blizzard advisory. It is snowing like mad outside, and predictions indicate another 16 inches for us. My kids are excited to have a huge snow fort, tunnels, and sledding mountains. Sorry, I'm not much help with other ideas!
