While many animals are hibernating in the freezing cold, most of us are also still Outside in the fresh air active.

And that at any age: after all, who doesn't love a Snowman or a Igloo to build a Snowball fight to start, Skate or to go for a run with a scarf, bobble hat and thick gloves. Winter walk and trudge through the snow with sturdy shoes?
