I agree that generally speaking the warmer it is the lazier I am, but it's not quite like the colder it is the fewer ways of procrastinating I have.
Stay at home and watch TV/mess around on the Web/whatever? (EDIT: if you want something more old-fashioned, make that reading novels or knitting by the fireplace.) Go to the pub and play darts/pool with their friends?
I think that's partly cultural. Where I am, it's not that uncommon for there to be plenty of young people just hanging around in the streets (going into bars to get drinks, but not staying inside each bar very long), even with below-freezing temperatures. To the extent that many such groups of people include both single males and single females, you could argue that on some level it's analogous to the dancing club thing, but still. (And snowfights are fun, though you might count them as sport.)
