Silver lining: There is finally snow at local ski resorts.

Sometimes being snowed in can be a good thing. We've listed lots of suggestions below for movie- and binge-watching; TV sports schedules, snowy-day books, and fun outdoor activities such as cross-country skiing, snowshoeing, tubing or hiking in one of Morris' many parks. Downhill skiiers can celebrate the delayed arrival of snow and head to the slopes of Mountain Creek in Vernon. Here are 7 great things to do this weekend, in and out of the snow.
