Is winter over yet…? A relatively warm week ahead is a tantalizing taste of spring…but forecasters say it’s back to the deep freeze before the blossoms come. So, we asked these Shore area folks, ‘What do you do when you’re snowbound at home?” Click on any image for a reply and to start the slideshow…

I watch Turner Classic movies.
I’m certainly not watching the Olympics.
I don’t find them interesting at all.

At home I catch up on laundry and an occasional nap.
I also do a lot of reading and listen to music.

They tear up the house because we can’t go outside.
Ethan plays video games and chases the dog around the house.
Cheryl Rosenfeld, E. Brunswick – When I’m snowed in, I make soup to keep my body warm, and watch the snow falling outside. – I practice my yoga on the floor at my house.
It’s simple and easy, and it makes me feel good.
