Catch up on reading. So many things to learn.
Firewood. ALWAYS have firewood to process before the next storm.
Planning the spring work. Trying to get any earthworks done in the spring before the rain hits means you have to have everything lined up around here.
Livestock chores. It just takes more time dealing with livestock in the winter--checking them closer, breaking ice or hauling water, feeding them, mucking barns, etc.
Indoor/crafty work. Candles, soap, knitting, carving, whatever you like.
Things shift gears in the winter around here, but they don't stop like some in the north claim.
