It seems obvious that we would suggest you buy a wool coat this winter, and leave it at that (you should by the way); but why focus on the specter of impending frigidity? There are so many great things to do in the North when winter is here! Grab your cup-o’-soup, some chopper mittens, and the wool and head out into a true winter wonderland to discover the beauty of that most dreaded season.
Perhaps you’re a sportsman? Fishing and hunting don’t conclude when the leaves are gone and the snow flies, drill a hole in the ice and drop a line. Pheasant, grouse, and deer seasons extend into winter months too. Check with the state’s DNR for all the details. Athletes: welcome to the land of odd outdoor activities, and some normal ones too. Curling and dog sledding are some not-so-common favorites. For those more conventional exercise enthusiasts there’s hockey, cross-country, and downhill skiing. State and county parks will often have groomed trails and rinks, so look into it!
Regardless of your summer month passions, there is sure to be something to keep you active and entertained in this cold time of year; whether you snuggle up or head out, be sure to make the most of winter in the Land of Lakes.
