Flying a Cub in a New Hampshire winter sounds, well, painful!

Not really. For openers, after a couple of bad experiences with
engines cutting out (we were on mogas at the time, though Cub Builders
List will fight to the death against any suggestion that fuel was the
cause) we are forbidden to fly the Cubs when the temp is below 20F. A
roll of duct tape, fleece-lined jeans, and a lot of polyster keeps it
quite comfortable in the back seat.

I actually started flight training in January

The upside is the beauty of the countryside, and the chance to land at
Alton Bay, which I understand is the nation's only seaplane base that
is a recognized ice runway in the winter.
