    Things to in the winters, when the Snow is blowing sideways....
    1. Reload the spent Ammunition Cases...
    2. Study for a Ham License, and then talk to the Prepers from around the world.
    3. I am thinking of more things.... Standby....

    BT, never really been into reloading but my chainsaws run perfect lol. My O'lady keeps me pretty busy with projects in the house as well, fkn pintrest! Aside from that we have alot of movies...and amazon. I reckon just keeping the plow rig up and road maintained is a large portion of my time, along with scraping, and shoveling snow.
