Several things help me through the Iowa winters:
1. I made an insulated gig bag...holds not only the oboe in its case & cover, but all the appurtenances too (shelf, tuner, reed case, music folder).
2. I DO sometimes put the oboe (in its case, with the case cover on it) under my coat with me. My body heat helps to keep the worst of the chill away.
3. If I'm planning on travelling with the oboe, I warm up the vehicle just a wee bit.
4. I do what I can to humidify the oboe appropriately.
Iowa can have sub-zero temps, as well as tropical ones. If you take care of it, the oboe can survive in this harsh climate.
