Seeking advice on wintertime postpartum activities

Recommendations

Can all the mamas who have gone through postpartum in the winter chime in with their best advice to fight off the winter blues?

I live in PA where winters are long and rough. I actually enjoy them, but that's by still being active outside- skiing, snow shoeing, etc. Baby #2 is due mid November and I'm anxious to be cooped up inside all winter without those outlets.

Baby #1 was born in June. We went for so many nature walks, it was great. But I don't feel the same comfort level doing that in winter due to ice, less people around in case I get stuck and the general mental hurdle of getting us all geared up in winter clothes.

What saves you in postpartum winter months?
