Unfortunately at this time there are only a few solutions around starting in winter, and all of them require time. Time and pain. Lots of pain.
I. Dig up the snow of a 100x100 grid that is either a forest or similar that will spawn taproots. I'm honestly not sure if stinging nettles spawn in winter. So far I've seen more river muscles than nettle in areas without snow or ice.
II. This is a pain in the ass but can help the most. Search for ruins of villages or personal claims. The reason this is the most painful in winter is due to the map being pitch white. This can either be quick or take longer than digging up all of that snow to try and spawn things in.
III. Locate neighbors. Signs of activity during winter would be fireplaces with embers, tar kilns smoking, dead animals in the area, or living animals. Leaving a sign or rune stone with your hearth secret to contact them and see if they can help. Most people are friendly enough but this can also be dangerous. Then again starting out in winter can be less of a risk if they are hostile. Worst they can do is say no with infinite possibility of help otherwise.
IV. This is quite possibly the easiest option. In realm chat ask for help. Find your location on the map and use that to judge the distance you will need to walk. Ocean access can help you get around at this time in a dugout but be mindful of the very deep ocean as it will destroy your boat and drown you.
Though if possible I'd recommend your husband get his exploration and perception combining into 1,000. This will give you access to seeing all cattails (Excellent early game string), candleberries (Can be turned into wax.), and waybroads (Can be used on deep cuts and turned into a better healing item.). If you have ocean access at this time, and a personal claim with around twenty to fifty drying racks, I would heavily recommend fishing drying fish fillets to get your intelligence, perception, & strength up. The new food system will make doing so a lot easier for all of you. But overall if you do not have a claim, home, or anything at this time then the best you can do is wander around in search of ruins or helpful people; and try and set something up.
