Spending time in the snow makes Midwest winters slightly more bearable — and there's no activity quite as fun as throwing down a sled and letting gravity take over.

What we're watching: More snow is coming overnight into tomorrow morning, with 2 to 4 inches of accumulation possible.

  • Keep your fingers crossed for sublime sledding weather.
