What’s something to watch (or read or listen to) that’s perfect to complement frigid temperatures outside. Wintery stories and adventures.
(Note: this post was created from a place where my phone’s weather app just gave me the “it’s cold enough to kill you” warning, so show it some love.)
Well, my favorite is To Kill a Mockingbird so let’s start there.
Well, I’m sure spotify or pandora would give you a winter music list if you searched for it.
A quick search came up with this

My personal go to is one of those kinda weird YouTube improvisational jazz channels. They are truly background music for whatever book you choose and a good cuppa (coffee or cocoa depending on your muse)
Christie’s Murder on the Orient Express is pretty snowy if you like classic mystery. I prefer the David Suchet version.
Bellairs’ The Face in the Frost is a hoot imho and a quick read if you want a fantasy book.
Straubs’ Ghost Story film version is pretty seasonal if you like horror.
Masefields’ The Box of Delights WAS seasonal and the BBC tv version is great if you like Christmas magic.
Helprin’s Winter’s Tale is a long but amusing read if you like off-the-wall ambition.
Aiken’s The Wolves of Willoughby Chase is a wild pseudo-Victorian melodrama if you like that kind of thing and the film version is ok imho.
What kind of thing do you like?
