What outdoor winter activities do you participate in?

Wearing heavy clothing. I live in the Southern US. We get snow once every six years. When we do I often try to ambush friends with snowballs.

No snow where I live. I did take one trip to a snowy locale, but I did not participate in any sports while I was there.

I don't do any of these. We do get snow, and I love cold weather, I just don't play outside.

No snow or ice here. Have to drive 4 hours to Tahoe for that. I miss snowmobiling, sledding, snowball fights, making angels and snowmen, shoveling snow. Screw this 90 degree weather in March.

Staying indoors, making a fire, hot chocolate, cabin fever.

I used to do a lot more of these, but we haven't had proper snow in years.

I go up to my father's house in upstate New York (almost Canada) to go snowmobiling and hunting.

I don't have any snow or ice where I live during the winter. AND I am also a wuss when it comes to winter weather -- I can take heat over cold more any day.

We sometimes get snow and ice, but not enough to do any of these things. I think we've only gotten enough snow to make a decent snowman about twice in my life.

We rarely, if ever get more than 1-2 inches of snow and, in fact haven't gotten any snow at all in the last 2 years. The bodies of water closest to me are rivers and they tend not to freeze over even if it was cold enough for them to do so. Oregon is a former rain forest with fairly temperate weather. The only way you'll see snow if at the higher elevations north of me and the only ice skating you would be able to do is at a skating rink as it never gets cold enough for even ponds to freeze over.

Well, I'm real big into downhill skiing, and I've cross country skied before to see what it was like. Also, I was in a snowball fight not long ago. It must have gone on for over a half hour. Sometimes I ride sleds too, that was last winter though. It was a pretty fun winter this year, to say the least.

However, I'm ready for spring now.

First of all, it doesn't snow much around here. Secondly, when it does snow I prefer to be indoors. A typical Vancouver snowfall occurs about once every couple of years or so and barely covers the ground before the rain washes it away. We don't really get Winter here. It's more like "the rainy season". It's already Spring. The flowers are blooming. The weather has been quite warm for several weeks now. I wore a jean jacket and a T-shirt today.

no snow here in florida

sledding Weeeeee!!!

We didn't have hardly any snow this year. It's been a pretty mild winter over all.
Oh BTW I don't do any of the things on this list.

I did some snowshoeing recently.

Wow, that's a lot of vowels all crammed together.

It's a ... vowel... movement.

what winter?

*groan*

Our idea of winter is just being really really cold (which is still not that cold). We have no snow over here, and we only have 2 seasons winter and summer over here. What exactly is spring and fall I wish someone who doesnt live here tells me one day.

I live in Ohio and I experience all the seasons. I used to think living somewhere that had constant weather patterns would be enjoyable, but now not so much. It sounds like it's kinda boring actually.

Pegging innocent unsuspecting people in the back of the head with big ole squishy snowballs.

Allow me to explain spring and fall for you. Spring are those 2 days between winter and summer where the temperture is bearable. Fall is the 2 days between summer and winter where the temperature is bearable.

When I went to Colorado a few years ago, the temperature was dipping around 10 degrees, but it didn't feel that cold. The air is much dryer up there, so it doesn't feel nearly as cold as it would in the south. As our area has a ton of humidity. Same as with Arizona in the summer. The temperature is higher there, but it'll feel hotter here.

None of these. I don't like winter and I'm not a wuss, you biased pig.

Don't mind me saying, but stop being so moody and get a sense of humor while you're at it.

Not everybody has to take it so literally.

I'm a wuss, give me the heat please.

Making this on a cold day...
flaming turtle chocolate fondue
Ingredients
1/4 cup milk
1/2 cup milk chocolate
1/4 cup caramel syrup
2 Tbsp pecans, chopped
2 Tbsp rum, 151-proof for flambé

Thanks for the explanation

Good reply. Thanks for the ingredients too.

Snowball fights and building snow people.
Our winter was rubbish this year, only a few days of snow which turned to slush before you knew it. Slushball fights aren't nearly as much fun.

try it and tell me how you love it!

I'm not a big fan of getting wet or cold, and we're in a drought right now... our ski areas in the Cascade Mountains (Washington state) are hit hard for the 3rd year in a row. (not that I ever could afford to ski) Snow is a lot prettier to look at than be in, in my humble opinion! And photographers, with snow, remember to adjust for the brightness!

Snow ball fights!! RAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHH!!

Hey, didn't you have any snow this year in Oxford/Sheffield? I thought the
"blizzards" were countrywide!

A light dusting - it barely settled. There may have been more in Sheffield, but I wasn't here!
