welcome to the board!

i live in iowa so its quite chilly here as well, my smoking area is my screened in porch. i put a little space heater right next to my chair and it makes it much easier to smoke than if i would be sitting in just the freezing temperatures. If you don't have a screened porch, a garage would also work well.... or of course inside the house, but my parents wouldn't be too happy about that

enjoy your stay here
