Obviously for Northern Hemisphere folks here. Where I am, it has been mostly below freezing, a little snow but not enough to pe pretty or good to play in. It’s mostly indoor activities. I work out at the gym, play board games, have random get togethers with friends. What do you do?

Get through? Winter is something I look forward to. Snuggling under a warm blanket with a pet or loved one. Hearty soups for every meal. Days are shorter and life slows down.
Summer sucks. Winter is where it’s at.
Soup.
Read, play video games, watch movies and anime. Oh, and post on forums.
Actually, thinking about it, there’s one thing that’s sort of the backgound to all of those things, and could be said to actually be my main activity in the winter, and that’s providing a lap for my cat. The rest of those are things that I also do.
I go outside. Learning to dress warmly is a skill. Makes me feel less stuck.
Lamps and light everywhere. A stupid amount of light. More than you are thinking.
I’m an avid indoorsman. One of my best friends is too, fortunately. I almost never get cabin fever (though it does happen).
Winters for me feels like home turf. My favorite activity is tabletop gaming with friends. When I can’t do that, I love reading books and watching videos. Occasionally I’ll play Steam games, but I spent enough of my youth on that, so it’s way down the list of choices.
I also like to try out new recipes. I’m a better cook than baker, but I do some of both. And I really enjoy playing with our two dogs. They teach the stupid human how to be in the moment.
I’m a boring but happy guy when left in peace.
D vitamins and gaming. Having a kid helps get you up in the morning
Ski pretty much every weekend, vibe, chill.
That was my plan, been slacking though. Haven’t been up in a month
Do you live near a skiable hill? That sounds great. Been skiing two times this year alread. It realy is thebest way of spending the winter.
I live in Denver. So…kinda. Just gotta wake up early and drive an hour and a half.
As an Australian living in Canada I find winters difficult after a few weeks. So I usually plan a trip south in February. I’m trying to get better about winter sports like cross country skiing. I have a 3yo now which helps, I can learn about winter fun and games through her
Take vitamin D like it was candy
And then my doctor tells me my Vitamin D levels are too high, and I need to stop
Hibernate.
Visit a garden centre that has a greenhouse. I picked up a little cactus!
I just dress warmly, often even when inside. It’s the biggest factor in weathering out the Winter, you just have to know how to do it. Currently laying in bed in an opened green hoodie over a pink plaid shirt and jeans and a warm temple garment bra/panties. It’s normal around here to just accept having on three layers.
Live close enough to a ski resort to ride my snowboard. Or kayak if the local creek is up. Maybe mountain bike as a last resort. Work on the camper van.
Whiskey + black metal
Also: Light therapy thing. Relatively cheap and easy, helps a lot with the moodiness of winter.
