Here in MN we are expecting a high of 19 on Saturday, so winter is indeed coming. Obviously freezing/exploding cans and bottles are not ideal and may not be worth the risk. Not sure if the trucks/warehouses keep the beer warm enough. I have recently had packages re-routed to actual ups and fed-ex locations so they don't have to sit outside in the weather. What are people thoughts on shipping during winter months? Cheers

Not a problem here in Texas except for the rare freezing day, but I'll definitely be taking a hiatus from trading with my MN guy for a while, starting right about now.
Great, there goes anyone want to trade with me for the rest of winter. It's all ready in the 20's here.
I try to check the weather for my trade desination, using my Weather Channel app to get the forecast. I also try to ship no later than Tuesday so that way, that box of beer karma is not sitting in warehouse over the weekend. If the weather looks bad or super cold, I will send a BM asking if it is ok to hold off until weather is better.
