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?

Soup.
D vitamins and gaming. Having a kid helps get you up in the morning
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.
I tend to use the traditional British methods of sighing, whingeing and moaning.
Moaning about the weather can be done communally at bus stops, to increase comradeship.
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
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.
Whiskey + black metal
I miss the snow this year, it brightens up the outside world substantially.
I do gaming, cleaning, planning, and sometimes head out and take cool photos:

Yesterday was spend with my dad helping me troubleshoot a nixie clock I built as a kit back in 2011, it worked fine until I touched the power rails to the tubes, 180V DC will make you loose control of your arm and just throw whatever you are holding, including a nixie clock.
After getting a new power supply, power cable and fuse and cleaning up my old crappy solder joints it is once again working for the first time since 2011, there is some kind of short that we ar having a hard time figuring out, but for the most part it is working…
I might just get a new clock from a shop in Ukarine (nixieshop.com)
Other than that, today I need to do some cleaning, and I might get my car and do a decent clean of that as well.
Winter? I don’t think we get that anymore. We haven’t even had snow this season yet.
We live in very different places apparently lol
Probably. Last year we had a few good dumps of snow through December and January, this year just rain and a few cold days
Come to NW Florida! The last bits of Tuesday’s snowstorm are melting today.
I’m thankful there are a lot of community events in the smallish towns in my area that help stave off the winter stir craziness. I think I’ve only seen the sun 4 times in the last 3 months but those few days were glorious. I can still get some hiking done on days where it’s not miserably windy. The thing that kills me the most are how short the days are.
I look forward to winter and I’ve joked that if I were a Pokemon, me being an ice type would be fitting. If it’s especially cold I’ll just wear thicker winterwear than usual or stay indoors. If I still feel cold, then it’s a great excuse to cook up some hot soups and make some hot chocolate!
I moved to Florida. It’s usually warm and sunny.
Down side: I live in Florida.
Visit a garden centre that has a greenhouse. I picked up a little cactus!
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.
