Not cold where we are, hovering around 100f forecast for next Saturday.

The actual effects of the shorter days takes time to settle in and have an effect. Hence the actual temps are lagging behind the length of a day.
I took part in an early Spring shoot in New England years ago, it was nasty cold. The only thing that kept me going was being able to warm my hands between as needed. The bathrooms had hot air hand dryers instead of paper towels, that was a blessing and something I used often during the event.

Maybe #6 shot?Did you use a spit patched RB or conical??
Uhm, about 10F.
My fingers get cold, it hurts. Got to do with frost-bite I had years ago.
20 is Ok, with sunshine, but 10?? Nah I don't wanna go
This weekend should be back up into the 30’s or 40’s so I’ll burn some powder.
I’m fortunate. Spent a life time working outdoors, but have a life membership to a Gun club that has out and in door ranges. Shoot twice a week, most weeks, regardless of weather. Under 50 degrees indoors. Of course the indoor is limited to handguns and 22 rifles. no black powder. Fortunately I have most varieties.

These guys are shooting.
We just passed through Hamilton TX (16 Jan) and truck says 27f. I heard warmer temperatures Thursday. We’ve been towing a winterized RV 3 days now all the way from Denver and are looking forward to a shower and an indoor terlit. At some point ‘tween here and FL we should be dewinterized. Gonna work on the Lyman GP .54 Pistol until its completion.
Days like this week, I don't even shoot off my front deck and I can step inside to load and warm up. Temperature -8°F wind chill -17°F with 5-6 inches of snow between me and the target stand. No Thank you.
