What's in the forecast for Chandler, Wednesday, December 27? A
Snow Day
! That's right, there's a 100 percent chance of snow in the heart of southeast Chandler.
Bundle up the family and head to Veterans Oasis Park for a day of fantastically frozen fun. Break out your mittens, boots and snow hat. Snow falls at 10 a.m.
Before the first snow falls create your own winter wonderland with our
Mad Libs-style Snow Day Story
. All you have to do is get your family to pick the words then fill in the blanks and share. We can't guarantee they'll all make sense in the end, but we can promise it will be snow much fun!
