Some people welcome winter in Michigan with open arms, while others watch the calendar until spring's warmth returns.

One way to overcome the long, cold winter here in Michigan is to get outside and try some new activities. 

Laura Herberg, reporter for Bridge Michigan, joined The Metro to walk us through the Michigan Dreaming Winter Bucket List.

12 activities made this year's winter weather fun bucket list, with dog sledding in the Upper Peninsula taking the top spot and drop-in hockey on Belle Isle representing Southeast Michigan.
