It's been a record breaker winter of cold that's freezing the fun out of winter. With all this time left, lets try and embrace the season.
Try Snowshoeing.
If you can walk you can snowshoe. Perrot State Park even rents snowshoes for only five dollars. They have sizes for adults and kids just call ahead so the staff knows you're coming and they can meet you at the headquarters. There are designated trails for snowshoeing and cross country skiing, so be sure you're on the right path.

Todays snowshoes are now designed for employment to recreation using lightweight aluminum and modern plastic materials. Their basic function is to float your steps over the snow accumulations. Special designs are also available for ascending, which can be more difficult in basic snowshoes. You may even prefer to also use telescoping poles to better navigate.
Get started now on learning how to snowshoe, it's not yet a Winter Olympic Event so you still have time to get good at it and try out.
Another great way to appreciate Winter, enjoy watching the Winter Olympics. I'm cheering for the Jamaican Bobsled Team. Just gotta wonder where they practice.
