Nice flies. I can't believe you can get inspired to tie them with snow on the porch - that is snow, isn't it? Don't get too much of that down here in Cajun Country, so it's kinda hard to recognize.
Anyway, you have the right plan - tie 'em when you can't fish. I've found that a Jimmy Buffet CD in the player and a rum and tonic with a twist of lime helps me ignore any adversity that might be lurking outside - hurricanes, mosquitoes, democrats, whatever. Try it.
