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.

Ham and pea soup is a banger.
D vitamins and gaming. Having a kid helps get you up in the morning
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.
Ski pretty much every weekend, vibe, chill.
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
That’s possible?
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.

Yes, although I do not think she is a very good doctor at all
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.
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.
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
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.
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.
For the most part I keep doing the same things while enjoying it less. Obviously I go outside less but I still do. I gear up, hop onto my bike and ride into the pitch black forrest only to realise this kind of sucks and then I just do a short trip and come back home. Then I forget that it wasn’t that fun and do the same thing again tomorrow.
