staying active when you want to hibernat

I am completly unable to get motivated, it has been 30 below zero for 3 days now and I don't want to do anything but curl up in bed with a magazine or my laptop and stay warm. How do you all stay active in the winter?

Brr-rrr-rrrr!
It was 70 degreees here in Boston this weekend - NOT what we usually get in January. Everyone in the city was running around in shorts and cut-offs - I'm SURE you don't want to hear that...
I know I couldn't cope with 30 below - I walk everywhere but if it goes below zero, I'm calling a taxi...
The only thing I can suggest is to think of something you want (earmuffs?) and make a deal with yourself - like if I exercise for 20 minutes for seven days, I'll do/buy/say whatever. Then make a big chart and hang it up where you can see it and mark off the days you succeed. Of course, FOOD can't be the reward!
If you have kids, and you have something you'd like them to do (make their beds so you don't hibernate in them?) let them pick a task and a reward and add them to the chart - then everyone is working towards something and you can be 'the example' for them.
Sending you warm thoughts if not warm breezes...
