You may come away from this post disturbed about my ethics:
I don't always check my pay stub, or pay print out or whatever it's called now; i work the same hours every week, rarely with a little overtime; but, i did check my last paycheck two weeks ago and i noticed that there were 11 hours of overtime that i had not worked. Even though i work the same 80 hours each pay period, there are various additions and subtractions that cause my checks to be different each period. I thought about this, discussed it with the Mrs. Finally justified it because i'm now making a little over $2.00 more an hour than I was when hired in 2010. I don't know who fills out my payroll these days; my supervisor has been on sick leave for a couple months, I've had a few emails and texts from his bosses but have been more on my own than ever.
Fine and good, or bad, judge me how you will. Today's paycheck had 16 hours of overtime and now this is something that can't be ignored. So, i just fired off an email about my 16 hours and maybe they won't uncover the 11 from the previous check. I figure if i mention this it will seem as if i'm being honest and never noticed the previous, which for me is plausible. If they could only have left it at the 11.
I got an email from a seed company that I bought clover seed from a couple years ago and it talked about ordering vegetable seeds for the winter and i'd never heard of that. It turns out that several vegetables are supposedly growable in the winter months - in my climate:

Now i'm intrigued but, i only want to try some spinach or maybe leeks, which i've never grown. I know about planting peas as early as you can but this is...wild. I don't want to order just a packet of spinach seeds though, where else could i find some?

I'm half-heartedly trying to grow peas. So far I have one sprout out of thirty seeds. I had another one, but it disappeared. When the heat goes, the slugs and snails come back.
I'll be interested to hear what you have sprouting under the snow. As far as I'm concerned, anything growing in winter better take care of itself. Like my friend arugula.
