I love winter & the cold. Airguns are at best a distant second hobby behind winter hiking for me. They do go hand in hand, however.
From yesterday's hike. 16° when I started & I believe had dropped to 14° when I got back to car. Love these rock formations but hard to photograph well.

They would find my body or what was left of it when the snow melted. If my blood got any thinner it'd be leaking out.....oh wait....it does.

Start pressure and picture of the rifle outside. Currently it is 71* in my house and topped off the cylinder on the rifle.
Current temp outside is actually quite nice, but you will still see the pressure drop. In a few hours will update and show how much pressure we lost.

Grabbed the rifle back inside and it was to warm. With the sun out there was really no change in pressure

So, two hours give or take, yeah it would make sense, that glowing thing in the sky heated it up enough. I simplify my air pressure thing by...keeping everything in my 'cool' garage, a balmy 40 currently. I think I need a heater in there.

Yesterday I posted in the PCP forum that I spent the freezing windy afternoon doing a trigger job on my Cayden and polishing up the bolt. Even dropped in a new hammer spring. Got the trigger breaking consistently at 5.6 ounces…
…had to try that trigger today, its damn cold here in Connecticut, but not windy like yesterday.
1st 10 shot group measured .33” ctc at 30 yards - ignoring the 1st shot that was low. Not bad considering that I had the rifle in pieces and the scope off - these were the 1st 10 shots. Using JSB 14.35g at 878fps.
Then tried little 13.45g JSBs at 905 fps. Did not group as well but lost all feeling in trigger finger about 3rd shot in this group, had to use middle finger to shoot the rest of the group, lol. - see picture of my frozen hand.
Can’t wait for 30+ degrees again so that I can try the 30 yard challenge with the Cayden’s sub-6 ounce target trigger.

Today was the first day that I actually left the house since a week ago, last Saturday. It finally cleared off and warmed up to mid 50's yesterday, the previous six days were cold, wet, with high humidity. Temperatures hovering right around the freezing mark. We only got a lite glaze of ice on trees here, 15 miles north was hit hard, lots of fallen trees, and power lines taken down. I worked half a day today and was surprised when we got a delivery from our drug wholesaler, actually 4 orders from last week that they could not deliver because of ice in the Dallas area.

Well, this GloBULL Warming/Climate change sure is active, I'm CA and, basically a snow free zone but....NOPE they are measuring it in FEET down to 250' Sadly none where I live. Last time it snowed here was in the 1960's.

I sort of figured out how many years that I might live and times that by the months that it's too cold to really do stuff outside and figured that a high percentage of my remaining life will suck by sitting inside. I'm looking for alternatives. Getting a van based camper so if I traveled south for just two months a year seems like a winner.

The Mrs. just told me they are closing roads around us. The one between Los Gatos and Santa Cruz is closed, the idiots bought snow plows then sold them, believed that warming nonsense.

. Whatever...I’m taking this opportunity to invite you to South West Florida…if you like shooting , we have a large active airgunning group with room for all…men, women, spring gunners, pcp ers, co2 ers, in an environment that allows for year round opportunities. Today it is sunny, clear, mid 80s…wind out of the Sw at 3 mph..typical. Keep us in mind when looking at your possible destinations. John

Just thinking what it was two years ago. -6F here in E. Texas, just south of Tyler. Today a balmy 60., we did hit 80 earlier in the week.
