Must be tough up there in the Frozen Nawth, withdrawal pains from no-fly syndrome due to icing, snow, icing, etc. We struggle down here too, with surface temps barely into the eighties, I had to close down the canopy to the notch position at altitude  But, heh, us Swamp Dragons are tough critters...

Whadda mean withdrawal pains? Great flying weather up here. 17 degrees F. on the ground about -10 at 4k. Yaks love this weather, they go up like an F-16.
You get to practice landing on shear ice or at least snow covering shear ice. Roll to a stop, hold the brakes, give a little throttle, spin it 180 in place release the brake and take off the other way.
Ah the joy of winter flying!
