It’s highly possible to get cabin fever with the weather that’s going on out there. If you do happen to venture out, there’s still a lot to do in the Treasure Valley. Grab some hot chocolate, a crazy winter hat, and the long underwear and enjoy a Boise-style winter wonderland.
For more ideas on things to do in the area, check out the Appetite for Idaho page on Facebook.
Have a FUN week,
