- Magazines freezing together if they get wet
- Electronics dying because batteries hate cold
- Your breath fogging up safety glasses constantly
- Metal parts so cold they hurt to touch.

And my personal favorite; trying to manipulate controls with gloves on but needing gloves because everything's painfully cold. Cold weather shooting is basically character building!
 
Nailed it!! Cold turns simple tasks into a circus but if your gear and skills work then, they’ll work anywhere
 
So true 😂 Cold turns everything into hard mode. If you can run your gear in that mess, you’ve definitely earned some character points.
 
The cold makes small mistakes worse, I have learned to slow down and treat range days in the winter as practice for being more careful.
