You are either somewhere that happens to to have a minus symbol before the number in your temperature outside, or it's warm and sunny you may have some time to knit a cute fish or skeleton fish (my personal fave). Here is a great alternating fish and skeleton fish pattern from the book Baby Knits from Around the World: Twenty Heirloom Projects in a Variety of Styles and Techniques.

I bet this would look cool double knit as an embellishment on a sweater or pair of gloves.
