There are a lot great perks to a snow day. City-wide school closingsYummy hot chocolate. Singalongs by the fireplace.

And don't forget the outside activities, too, like sledding. But what if you don't have a sled, and realistically, how many people in Atlanta keep a sled when it only snows every other year?

But a lack of a proper sled didn’t stop these people, though perhaps it should have:

Car hood

Cardboard box

Laundry basket

Mattress

Storage bin lid

Trash can lid

Are you sledding this weekend in Atlanta? Be sure to tag your pictures on Instagram and Twitter with #ATLweather to be included in our reader picture round-ups!
