Not really...but we're not big TV/Movie watchers. When it's snowy, we like to do things outside in the cold - sledding, skiing, tubing etc We tend to do more inside activities like museums in the colder months.

We even go to the zoo in the colder months - no crowds! It's awesome.

If we're home, we like to do things like board games, cook together, have friends over etc

Not really. Our winter is so mild that we don't have many (if any) "don't go outside" days.

We watch more movies. It is fun to snuggle under a big blanket. More board games and card games for sure too.

We actually watch more in the summer as a family. The kids have a later bedtime and need a chance to settle down after a long day running around outside.

DH and I watch more tv in the winter because the shows we like are all new and the kids are in bed earlier.

We definitely watch more movies, but not necessarily more tv. We're not huge tv watchers, but will snuggle up together to watch a movie on a cold night. Occasionally, as a family fun thing, we have a picnic on the living room floor in the winter time and watch a movie.

We tend to do a lot of games and puzzles when it gets cold out.
