Yes! This is just the kind of weather I'm waiting for. This is great. I
never thought of trying IR in colder weather. Fall and winter is when I
am most inspired to shoot.  Every summer I look up and all of a sudden
it's already August and I haven't shot any IR. So there will be
another one of us tramping out in the snow!

One thing though. You fellows must have lots more snow than I do here in
Tennessee. All this talk of skis and snow shoes. I just put on my trusty
KMart Moon boots and I'm off! Tennesseans run for cover when the first
flake hits the ground. 

Who's going to contribute info on best ASA to use? I'm sure the colder
weather will make a difference....dont' you think?
