Podcasts about snow days

There's something special about a snow day… unexpected, memorable, and a break from routine. In this episode, Mark borrows a few classic snow-day moments to explain what a strong financial plan really provides. When your plan is solid, you can handle the hard parts, enjoy the good ones, and stay steady when conditions change. Snow days don't last forever, but the freedom they create is worth planning for. Here's some of what we discuss in this episode: ❄️ Financial Foundations: How preparation creates flexibility

Recorded live on board Norwegian Joy, the crew swaps travel chaos, surprise fan stories, canceled excursions, and cruise-only chaos—all with laughs, love, and a little hot sauce.

What do snowstorms, canceled services, and accidental “rapture livestreams” have to do with spiritual rest? Quite a bit, actually.In this episode of Chasing the Rabbit, the pastors of First Baptist Church of the Islands reflect on an unexpected snowy weekend in Savannah and let the conversation drift (as it always does) into something deeper: the urgent need for rest, rhythms, and refueling—especially for those in ministry.As the team looks ahead to a local ministry conference, they talk candidly about burnout, busyness, Sabbath principles, and the difference between physical rest and soul rest. Along the way, they wrestle with questions many leaders feel but don't always voice:How do you know when your tank is running empty?Why does busyness feel like success in our culture?What does biblical rest actually look like under the New Covenant?And how do we create healthy rhythms that sustain us for the long haul?The conversation is grounded in Scripture and shaped by insights from several influential books, including:Leading On Empty by Wayne CordeiroThe Wisdom Pyramid by Brett McCrackenThe Common Rule by Justin Whitmel EarleyWhether you're a pastor, ministry leader, volunteer, or just someone feeling stretched thin, this episode is an encouraging reminder that rest is not weakness—it's wisdom. God doesn't just command rest; He invites us into it.So slow down, take a breath, and chase this rabbit with us.

Well, we made it to February and survived snowmageddon! It's so great to be back in civilization with y'all for this week's episode where we ramble about all the things! We talk about the winter storm, how we prepared, how we passed the time, and what we learned from it all.  We also discuss our latest favorite book, Theo of Golden by Allen Levi, then share an encouraging verse for the new month. We hope that with each and every episode, you will find us talking about Jesus in our everyday lives while also learning, being challenged, and growing together while loving and laughing about what makes up our everyday lives.  We are so thankful Jesus is right there with us in the middle of it all. Theo of Golden by Allen Levi February memory verse: "The Lord your God is in your midst, a mighty one who will save; He will rejoice over you with gladness; He will quiet you by His love; He will exult over you with loud singing."  Zephaniah 3:17 Each episode is recorded on the campus of Union University!

This week on Two Parents & A Podcast, we're talking about a little bit of everything. We start with Austin's first real snow day (at least since we've lived here lol) and how snow days feel wildly different as a kid vs. as a parent. We talk Dry January, whether it's rude to ask someone why they don't drink, and a truly wild babysitting story involving lime-a-ritas (the liability alone???). Then it's parenting and pregnancy updates: how every family develops its own language (how Tate became “BUBBERS”), why we're capping naps at 16 months, the “unzipping the sleep sack” phase, what's helped vs. not helped with pregnancy restless leg, and the differences between boy vs. girl pregnancies (cravings, skin, fatigue, emotions, pregnancy brain). We wrap with the fun stuff as always: Harrison's cookbook era, a great welcome-to-the-neighborhood gift idea, our ongoing couch and dining table saga, Dad's first attempt at pigtails, Bicker of the Week, and two Things We DMed Each Other that left us speechless. LOVE YOU GUYS. Thanks for listening!!! --- Timestamps: 00:00:00 Welcome back to Two Parents & a Podcast! 00:03:26 Our first “snow day” in Austin 00:06:05 How children conjure a snow day 00:10:43 “Ghost riding the whip” (and the dumb stuff we did as teens) 00:14:37 Babysitting… but getting paid in lime-a-ritas?!

WBS: Snow Days #346 -- The gang is at it again. Brimstone is joined by his wing-man Alex DaPonte and Brim's wife Danielle as they chat about the Missing LI boy (15) who went missing in NYC to meet someone he met on Roblox, the $450M sale of Nathan's Famous, and Tracy Morgan snubbing an old classmate who deserved it. They discuss the WBS review by Ivy.fm (thank you), and the cast vehemently condemns the heinous actions of ICE against Alex Pretti in Minnesota. They discuss the phallic shaped iceberg found in open waters, the open challenges at one of the Titanic Museums, and could you handle the -2 degrees Celsius water that Jack was let go into. Brim explains what gets Within Brim's Skin.

Here's what we're reading, recommending, and revisiting this week.Catherine's library find is a parenting book. Its title caught her eye, but it's not necessarily what it seems (who woulda thought?). That title is Just Do Nothing (for Parents): How to Parent Better By Doing Less by Joanna Hardis.​Terri's random recommendation is not to do nothing, but instead to pray regularly. The Prayminder app is helping her do that. Like an Apple Watch for the soul, it issues reminders to keep you on track.In the archives, we checked in on an episode from 2019 on snow days, which are themselves becoming a thing of the past.Next week's lineup:Shrinking S3 E1, "My Bad," on Tuesday, February 3Lost S4 E12, "There's No Place Like Home," on Wednesday, February 4Weekly roundup on Thursday, February 5Until then (and anytime you're in need), the archives are available.

Life is starting to get back to normal for some, but not nearly for all.Power restoration is still slow-going in some communities. One in five homes in Nashville is still in the dark and cold. And in some parts of town, work has hardly begun. This hour, we're going to get an update about the arrival of the National Guard, hear about schools running out of snow days, and learn the warning signs about carbon monoxide poisoning. Plus we'll visit Brown's Diner where they're emptying the freezer before it goes bad — and we remember the ice storm of 1994. It's another recovery show.After the live show ends, tune into the latest Mayor's News Conference.Guests:  Rep. Caleb Hemmer (D), Tennessee House Representative, District 59 Camellia Burris, WPLN Education Reporter John Isbell, Sumner County Mayor Rose Gilbert, WPLN General Assignment Reporter Nadine Moore, Birria Babe Owner Justin Barney, WPLN Music Reporter

It's a snowy Monday on Brock in the Morning and the studio turns into a birthday party. Brock is joined by Amanda (the birthday queen) and Stephanie as they sip coffee, dodge snowpocalypse panic, and debate the movies they've watched way too many times.The crew dives into repeat-watch classics, modern comedies that just don't hit the same, awkward parking lot standoffs, flight attendant pet peeves, retirement boredom, kitchen gear regrets, and why Northwest Arkansas absolutely loses its mind over snow. Along the way: coffee obsessions, Costco runs, fondue adventures, real-life nostalgia, and the kind of off-the-rails conversations that only happen when school's canceled and everyone's a little punchy.Cozy, chaotic, funny — and exactly what a snow day radio show should sound like.

It's a snow day, Slackers!This episode is all about some of the wildest weather moments the U.S. has seen from 1965 right up to now. The standout blizzards, hurricanes, and tornado outbreaks that have hit hard, shut down cities, reshaped coastlines, and left people talking about them for decades. These storms actually changed lives and showed just how powerful nature can get, especially in places you wouldn't always expect.Take the Great Blizzard of 1978—snow piled so high (I took a sled out a second story bedroom window), screaming winds, and basically ground the entire region to a halt for days. Or jump ahead to Hurricane Gloria in '85, which rolled up the coast and knocked out power across a big chunk of New England, including right here in Massachusetts.And then there's the 2011 Springfield tornado, a rare beast for this part of the country that tore straight through towns and downtown areas, reminding everyone that even the Northeast isn't immune to serious twisters.The takeaway is simple: these events keep teaching us tough lessons about staying ready. Weather doesn't mess around, and the more we remember the big ones, the better we can handle whatever comes next. It's a mix of respect for the Old Mother Earth and a little hope that we're getting smarter about facing it.

In this episode of the Celebrate Kids podcast, hosts discuss the impact of weather-related school cancellations, particularly snow days, on children's education and well-being. They reflect on how traditional snow days have shifted post-COVID, with many schools opting for remote learning instead of allowing kids a break from schoolwork. Dr. Kathy encourages listeners to use these moments of disruption to consider broader questions about the educational system and to explore opportunities for character development throughout a child's schooling from preschool to grade 12. The segment aims to provide encouragement and insight into making the most of unexpected school closures.

In a recent episode of The Valley Today, host Janet Michael welcomes Elise Stine Dolinar, the driving force behind Bright Futures Frederick/Winchester. Their conversation, happening against the backdrop of the annual "Camping for Hunger" week, delves into the heart of a community initiative that goes far beyond simply filling backpacks with food. Bright Futures, as Elise passionately explains, is dedicated to ensuring that every student—regardless of circumstance—has access to the essentials they need to succeed in school and in life. The Weekend Food Pack Program: Logistics and Love At the core of Bright Futures' efforts is the weekend food pack program. Each week, volunteers assemble over a thousand bags of shelf-stable, allergy-conscious food items. These bags are discreetly placed in students' backpacks, ensuring that children who might otherwise go hungry have enough to eat until school resumes. Elise describes the logistical ballet required to coordinate donations, manage inventory, and accommodate special dietary needs. The program's success hinges on the generosity of local donors and the tireless work of school staff and volunteers. Beyond Hunger: Clothing, Hygiene, and Dignity However, Bright Futures' mission doesn't stop at food. Elise and her team respond to a wide range of student needs, from winter coats and shoes to hygiene products and even sleeping bags for homeless youth. The organization works closely with school counselors, who act as the eyes and ears on the ground, identifying students in need and maintaining their privacy. This system ensures that help is delivered quickly and discreetly, preserving the dignity of every child. Community Collaboration: Volunteers and Donors Step Up Transitioning from logistics to community impact, Janet and Elise highlight the crucial role of volunteers and donors. Whether it's a church group packing food bags, individuals donating new coats or clearing out store shelves during sales, the community's involvement is the lifeblood of Bright Futures. Elise shares stories of last-minute shopping trips for shoes and the creative ways the team stretches every dollar, often leveraging partnerships with organizations like the Blue Ridge Area Food Bank to maximize the impact of cash donations. Facing Challenges: Holidays, Snow Days, and the Unexpected The conversation also addresses the unique challenges posed by school breaks and unexpected closures. Elise explains how Bright Futures prepares special food boxes for holidays and adapts quickly when snow days disrupt their carefully planned schedules. Flexibility and foresight are essential, as is the unwavering commitment to never turn away a child in need. Empowering Students and Staff As the conversation wraps up, Elise emphasizes the importance of empowering both students and school staff. In-school food pantries allow older students to access food independently, while donations help relieve the financial burden on teachers and counselors who often dip into their own pockets to help students. The organization's work, Elise notes, is only possible thanks to the "angels in the schools" and the broader community that believes in supporting every child. A Call to Action Ultimately, this conversation shines a light on the power of community action. Bright Futures stands as a testament to what can be achieved when people come together with compassion, creativity, and a shared vision. As Janet and Elise urge, whether through donations, volunteering, or simply spreading the word, everyone has a role to play in ensuring that no child is left behind.
