[QUOTE="johnwm, post: 1566598, member: 67227"] Zero wind is so rare and so wonderful around here that I will never complain about it. :) Sound does indeed go on forever, but we never seem to have much crunch, at least not until later in the season. We never go above freezing, so there's never a thaw and re-freeze to create that crispy top layer. The snow just keeps it's beach-sand consistency through most of the winter; it's usually very quiet to move through. [LEFT][SIZE=14px][COLOR=rgb(20, 20, 20)]Add clothes? I'm pretty sure I was wearing everything I own! :) Living up here you get accustomed to it; it's just winter. I had just finished sighting-in a new gun a day or so earlier and it needed to be blooded! So if brass and copper contract faster, and from that chart it looks like lead will also, that should mean that pressures will drop if anything. Or are there other factors at play here?
