Update
How might one spend a Tuesday as a family in February in Colorado? Figuring out something to do with the kids, because school was canceled due to cold. No snow here as part of our "Snowmaggedon," or whatever it's being called to the East, but apparently someone didn't want kids waiting at the busstop when it's -2 degrees. Which I guess makes sense. But I can't help thinking of all the Little House books we've been reading, children and adults trekking to school and the barn through waist-high snow in -20 degree weather, without any synthetic fabrics, to buildings without insulation or central heating. And living 90 years to write about it fondly.

I vaguely recall from my own childhood that there can be problems starting the school buses when it's too cold out. And of course although your kids are properly dressed for the weather, not all parents are as careful, and we don't want anyone getting frostbite!
It's 6* with a windchill of -18* here...and our kids still went to school. Crazy cold!!!!!
