Review old work, re-process or shudder , GO OUT and SHOOT, really I get reasonably good results just keeping my camera inside my jacket/ coat between shots, only time I got condensation in a camera was in the ICE show at Inner Harbor MD one winter, the next time I kept the camera inside more and no problem, Bob.

Hmmm! At least we, the denizens of the northern climes, can add layers of light weight warm clothing and go chase Balk Eagles up and down the Mississippi River. While ya'll can only take so much off before the man with the badge throws you in the clink.

Well here in Wisconsin we have our share of winter unless it's really nasty Lucy and I take a 1.5 to 3 mile hike on all my days off.My SX50 is always with us some of my favorite shots have happened below 32 degrees if it's really cold besides the gallon zip lock bag with silicone packs I have a small lunch cooler I can use to slow the climate change for my camera.

With 6-7 months of winter here I do as much outdoors as I can. I snowshoe for exercise and that gets me outdoors every day. I shoot all winter no matter the weather. Some of the best photos I've ever taken are of snowstorms, hoar frost, cloudy mist rising off open rivers and ice formations. I'm pretty acclimated to the cold by December so it doesn't bother me as long as I dress for it. I keep mini heat sticks in my split choppers and only expose my gloved fingers to shoot. My cameras haven't been affected by extreme cold. I've shot at -20 degrees for short periods of time. That's for me, not the camera.

I'll consider it when you dome the state and install air conditioning, neither I nor my wife do well in the heat!

Here's what I do when it gets cold and snowy.
Go out and capture some nice winter images!
Took these last year with my little Pentax Q, worlds smallest interchangeable lens digital camera. It's about the size of a pack of cigarettes.

Looking towards Columbia Gas office.
View of downtown.
Looking down my street.

Your street looks like mine a couple of years ago, even the houses, amazing, I had to look at your location the neighborhoods look so similar, Bob.

I would suggest you develop some migratory habits. Will be close to 70 here in Borrego Springs CA tomorrow. Lots of small birds to play with, golf coarses, bad lands to photograph. Why would you want to be in 1 degree weather. Start a flock and migrate. Why do you think the birds do it? Guess they are smarter than you think!

When I was a kid, we called the city cowboys 'All hat, no cattle'. Now that I am older, I don't even want any cattle! I see them out my window almost every day, just don't want to own them anymore. And yes, I still go out with the neighbors when needed to work them doggies. Darn it!

Here in NE Connecticut it can get a little chilly but rarely below zero. Used to go skiing (Before I had titanium hips) and take my Canon F-1 with me. !0 below at the top of MT Mansfield (Stowe VT), never had a problem. Hate the heat, would rather it be cold. Mucho snow last winter and have lotsa snow scenes.

Right now it is flaming cold here in the UK; 60mph winds, freezing rain, early morning snow flurries yuck ! Apart from that I did go down to the river- lots of seagulls, a couple of wagtails- thats' it. Not really worth the hassle, but you have got to try, right ?
