I have a 20' x 20' stand alone shop west of Minneapolis (well out of bullet range). It's well insulated and is heated by a wood stove. When it was 20 degrees below zero, it took about 3 hours to get comfortable.
Winter time also means no yard work, more shop time. Another bonus is my wife is very busy making quilts in her sewing room. Meaning, she doesn't complain that I don't spend enough time in the house with her.
Although I hate winter, I do enjoy working in my nice warm shop and looking out the windows when the big fluffy snowflakes are falling.

Williard - I'm about 15 miles north of Minneapolis and it is 35 here today. It is amazing how warm that feels after -20 last week. I got outside today and took down the Christmas lights. Now it's to the basement and to the shop.

Basement shop. 25' x 25' heated along with the rest of the house. Have an outside door and 3 windows so get plenty of light and when the weather is nice outside they get opened. Days in the summer when it's 80 plus outside I have seen the shop in the mid 60's. The basement stays cool enough that in the summer we live down here and don't need the central air.
