There is new research that moms bear the brunt of interruptions on snow days.

A working paper by academics at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln.

finds that if a place gets a lot of snow in a month, working moms miss, on average, about two days of work.

Researchers also believe that moms may self-sort into more flexible jobs, even if they pay less.

While snow days cost parents, they're also an opportunity for small businesses.

In Baltimore, a dance and art studio called Dance on the Square held a pop-up flurry camp this week for 3- to 10-year-olds.

The studio's owner, Kate Drake, decided to offer camp as soon as school was canceled.

The camp costs $75 for kids to come from 8 to 3.

Aftercare, which goes until 5.30, is another $25.

We filled yesterday for today in six minutes, 50 spots, and then we had a wait list of 49 people for today.

At my house, we also spent some money on a day camp that wasn't sold out.

And it has been nice for Will to see more of what I do.

He's even come up with a new jingle for the show.
