Romance and picnics go together like birds of a feather. Peanut butter and jelly. Peas and carrots. You get the picture. The two are compatible.

For those who dare to brave the winter chill, and don't let little things like snow or cold temperature get in the way of romance, here are a few suggestions for planning a winter picnic for two.

Outdoor winter picnic must-haves are a fire pit and either a tarp, waterproof picnic blanket or folding picnic chairs to stay dry. When it comes to planning the meal, stick with hot comfort foods that make you feel warm inside and fill your thermoses with homemade vegetable stew and apple cider.

If you’re more of an indoor pair, enjoy a picnic in the comfort of your living room by the fire. Pack a basket, clear a space in your house, lay out a blanket and use your imagination. You can even surround your blanket with a few house plants to authenticate your experience.

After you've emptied the basket, finish off your picnic with a little snuggling to stay warm during this snowy season.
