“My favorite one is sneaking my dog, a 9-year-old Airedale, into the co-op playground so she can jump around and play in the snow. Dog snow angels are the best.”

— Pamela Detrow, 65, Washington Heights

“Anytime we have gotten a snow day where we can work from home, my roommate and I blast the song “Work From Home” by Fifth Harmony and kick off the day with a 7:30 a.m. dance party. It brings back the type of snow day excitement you had as a kid.”

— Emily Roy, 26, Alphabet City, Manhattan

“If it’s an overnight storm (because cloud coverage is necessary) I’ll take a 2 or 3 a.m. stroll. The world is quiet, but aglow. The snow on the ground combined with the milky sky produce an eerie night-but-bright feeling that is otherworldly.”

— Mark A. Singh, 26, Astoria, Queens
