what do you shoot in the winter if you don't like going out in the cold.

What's Winter?

I really want to get some frost shots on a golf course.

Took this last winter. I think it was about 14F that day. With a breeze off the river.

I like that a lot of people don't like the cold. That means no crowds when I want to go shooting

I shoot from the car quite often, the viewpoints are a lot more limited, but in winter I don't have the time during daylight to trek off anyway.

There are of course quite a collection of indoor topics I have listed to try/redo too. These include standard still life & macro shots, and a collection of more unusual subjects such as: smoke (from a candle or jostick) water splashes, diffusion in liquids (eg. milk or paint in water), refractography...

If I'm not in the mood for any of that theres always a few thousand shots on the PC awaiting processing

Go over your archive. You'll find great shots from back then, that you could improve immensely with your editting skills of today. Or get inspired for a new portfolio site maybe. I love to do some product photography that's challenging with lights.
Or simply find super warm clothes and go out anyway.

I shoot people I don't like.
Then I take their picture.

Is that cold?

Model Mayhem has a large pool to choose from, but like tirediron said. Flaky models make up the majority of their population.

Don't worry about a back drop if you do a shoot at your house. Make up themes that fit the scene you're shooting. Be creative and have fun.
