Up here I do the opposite.
When playing a snowy round it's better to keep them cold. Snow doesn't stick to them as bad.

Shoveled my driveway in Montana once when it was -42 and still snowing. Didn't shed many layers. Didn't play disc golf. :|
This. Snow sticking to warm discs is the pits.
Too funny!

Warmed up discs SUCK in the snow. Figure out your bag the night before you play and then leave them in the trunk overnight.

I friggen love winter. Blanket of snow on the ground, crisp air, complete solitude on the course. I don't know if anything makes me happier than showing up to a completely vacant parking lot for a solo winter round.
The right gear makes a huge difference. Thin warm layers, thick socks, and waterproof boots.

^ once you get down to 0 and below or a certain windchill factor, it's no longer fun.

Cold is my deterring factor. Anything else I can usually handle.

Looks like big snow is coming. 5-11" on Monday. I don't mind cold weather, actually enjoy it, but I hate losing discs in the snow. Fk you SNOW, Stay AWAY!!!

Wisco here as well and all winter long as well. Best part is in my area beyond the few that I have gotten to go with me, NO ONE plays the courses here in the snow. So it's nice and easy to find your discs when there are no tracks in the snow.

The panda was awesome, thanks!
You are all lucky bastards. It has already snowed about 8 times up here in northern WI/upper MI, and the forecast calls for mid 20's for a high, as well as upper teens later on in the week. My home course is taken down for the season, and there will be 20 foot high plus snowbanks within the month. I'm stuck inside, away from disc golf till March at the earliest. *CRIES HYSTERICALLY*

I'm originally from New England myself and tho I'm not crazy about the cold I can deal with it. The thing I like least about winter is only having 8 or 9 good hours of daylight a day. It's still dark when I leave the house in the mornings and dark again before I get home in the evenings. If we get crappy weather over the weekend I may be a two of three weeks without seeing any appreciable sunshine.
