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?

    XC skate skiing when there’s snow, running with spiked shoes when there’s not. Dark when going to/from work usually, so getting out in the weekends is important. Walk/run in the middle of the workday is great, but something that I don’t do nearly enough.

    D vitamins. I also have a daylight lamp at work, but haven’t started using it yet.

    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 moved to Florida. It’s usually warm and sunny.

    Down side: I live in Florida.

    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.

    Staying indoors as much as physically possible while going about my time as normal. Got chores or work to do? Business as usual. No work? Just trying to keep busy either on my phone or one of my many electronics (business as usual). Have to walk the dogs? I better make it quick because the cold is not for me.

    If anything, I’m just glad I’m not experiencing a winter like last year where there were subzero temperatures and wind making it even worse. Because that kept me wanting to spend zero time outside in any situation. At least this winter I can feel decent about going outside, especially since there’s no snow and ice everywhere.

          Stupid d vitamin amounts over long time leads to a buildup of calcium in the blood which causes a bunch of problems. From wikipedia:

          The recommended dietary allowance is 15 μg/d (600 IU per day; 800 IU for those over 70 years). Overdose has been observed at 1,925 μg/d (77,000 IU per day).[citation needed] Acute overdose requires between 15,000 μg/d (600,000 IU per day) and 42,000 μg/d (1,680,000 IU per day) over a period of several days to months.

    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.

    Get a sun lamp, mine helped me immensely! I sit in front of it every morning as I’m getting ready (before the sun is up) and it wakes me up and improves my mood.
