Winter sports/activities help lots. Snowshoeing, skiing (xcountry or downhill), skating, sledding. Having a reason to enjoy what little daylight we get makes winter not just a chore, but a benefit.

Also having good dark time activities: board games, video games, books, and such. If you can make winter a time to look forward to for its unique benefits it’s less of a sad time and something to look forward to.

Seasonal Affective Disorder is also a real thing. If you find yourself just down for no apparent reason, consider getting a sun lamp to put on your desk or workspace during the day.

Welcome and good luck!
