We could all use a little inspiration now and then. Here's a great winter composting video from a fellow composter.

Divine Winter Composting
Neither rain nor snow will stop
the post office (most times), but it sure puts a damper on my backyard
composting. These cold months don’t stop me from collecting fruit and vegetable
scraps, but I don’t hike to the back 40 as often. I store my odds and ends in
limbo for a time.
Limbo in my case happens to be
the garage. Here the scraps can sit until I am ready to pull on my Wellies, zip
up my parka and head out. Upon venturing out, I’m sure to have on a pair of
work gloves so I can easily deposit the scraps and finish with a topcoat of
shredded leaves.
Once leaving limbo, it’s agony
having to wait in purgatory for spring to come. Finally when the weather warms,
I can turn that pile and an inferno takes place, leaving me with hallowed ground-
finished compost. Ah paradise!
My apologies to Dante…
