Nothing.
When it gets this cold and windy in Mississippi(rarely),
I retreat from my summit climber and seek refuge in more comfy accommodations. (Insulated house stand).
Oh yea, little propane heater also.
Here's my view currently.

Loaded about 500 rds of .44 Mag and .44 Special
EDIT - Just checked primers usage, ended up being a bit over 700 rds. 70/30 Split between .44 Magnum and .44 Special
.44 Special - 200 gr RNFP - Bullseye - CCI300 - 780 fps
.44 Magnum - 300 gr HCFNSWC Gas Checked - Alliant 2400 - CCI300 - 1230 FPS (50 rds loaded)
.44 Magnum - 240 gr LSWC - Reddot - CCI300 - 842 fps
Red dot makes a really nice light plinking load in the Magnum cases. Get .44 Special velocity but less fouling of the cylinders. It is my go to powder for light practice ammo in the .44's
The 300 gr HC load was verified that morning on a chrono to verify it was safe and no pressure signs apparent on starline brass. Would make a great woods defense load.
Pictures L - R : .44 Special 200 gr RNFP; .44 Magnum 300 gr HCFNSWC Gas Checked closeup and in the loading trays

Got a bunch of flooring and trim to plane and stain too. Been avoiding that by sitting at the reloading bench lol

Just finished processing a big tote of brass, wife was happy to have the kitchen back.
Next up is an isolated press stand so my scales and press are no longer directly connected.

Sick kids are the worst!
Spending time with the grands tomorrow. Few little things to grab for wifey...
I just packed all my gear for next years hunt in two sea line bags. Looks like that is going to work...I have to find something in the house I know what it weights and check my digital fish scale. I am at 31# minus what I am going to wear seems light. OR, the allotted #50 is too much crap!

Hit the liquor store for a fresh bottle of Basil Hayden, Irish cream and a of wine.
Cleaned my reloading/fly tying room.
Cleaned and reorganized my fly tying bench.
Built a rack for hanging stuff (gun cases, fly gear) from 1x6x6 red oak and red oak 1/2" dowels.
