I figured that you are in a spot that's really cold. I spent 5 winters in North Dakota, and while their summers can be beautiful, they only lasted a couple of weeks, and are associated with ravenous, blood-thirsty swarms of blood-sucking birds that they call mosquitoes. Compared to that, our Florida mosquitoes are rather friendly!
For me, the past few days have been colder and wetter than normal, but I understand how you would love to have our "cold weather" where you are.
Stay warm, and come visit us in February what a bunch of us will meet outside Lakeland, Florida for a day or two of shooting!
