I do glass work year around but when it gets much below 60 degrees I do it inside of my heated shop. I will lay the glass then crank the heat up a bit to help it cure out well. I have done small repairs outside on larger boats that wont fit in my shop this time of year. If I do I need to pre-heat the area with a blow drier or heat gun and then do the lay up. I get the glass laid then I hit it lightly with the heat gun till it starts to kick. Once it kicks off it generates enough heat on its own to cure on out. There are plenty of good warm days where I can do work out side and then there are some like last week where it was in the 20's. We have cold to mild weather here in NC mainly for just a few months. It can be 85 degrees on Monday and then have a high of 30 on Wednesday. They have a saying "If you don't like the weather here in NC just wait a day or two and it will be different". Sounds much nicer where you are this time of year.
