Top Tweets of the Week: Jan. 12-18


Aside from @MyStrangeFam with her amazing beach photo—where was that vacation destination?!—we've all been dealing with the winter weather lately. This means fun things, like sledding and skiing, and not-so-fun things, like being kept inside all day due to the cold. Fortunately, we have ways to make both options better: guides to winter sports and activities!
