The chance of snow is unlikely, as temperatures are forecasted to be in the mid 40's to low 50's most of the week. But in the event of snow, Golf courses are excellent places to sled, snow shoe or cross country ski! 
It is not safe to be on the ice outdoors, but ice skating, a popular winter sport, can be enjoyed indoors during public skating times at Cape Cod skating rinks. The weather is perfect to take a hike! Choose a beach, bike path, the canal or any of many Cape Cod Hiking Trails. Bake some heart healthy oatmeal cookies to serve with hot chocolate after a day outdoors. Pop some popcorn, the old-fashioned way, with oil in a covered pan on the stove! Finally, turn off the TV and Xbox, and have a family game night- old favorites include Candyland, Trouble, Battling Tops, Monopoly, Yahtzee, Scrabble...
