Ran across this on QRZ.COM reflector.  I always thought a Winter Field Day would

  Society for the Preservation of Amateur Radio
    SPAR Announces Winter Field Day 2007
  Field Day is one of the activities enjoyed by amateurs every June and offers 
an opportunity for camaraderie and a chance to test our ability to set up 
operations in less than ideal circumstances, however, emergencies and natural 
disasters don't always happen in the summer. To test our abilities to operate in 
the winter, SPAR has established a Winter Field Day event and invites all 
amateurs to participate.

  The first Winter Field Day will be held from 12:00 noon on Saturday January 
13, 2007 to 12:00 noon on Sunday January 14, 2007 local time. The object of the 
event is to set up emergency-style communications and make as many contacts as 
possible during the 24 hour period. The rules encourage as many contacts on as 
many bands and modes as possible, because during a real emergency, the most 
important factor is the ability to communicate, regardless of band, mode or 
distance.

  The official rules can be found at the SPAR web site. The event is open to all 
amateurs, although we encourage everyone to join in the discussions and other 
activities sponsored by SPAR. Information about SPAR can be found on the SPAR 
Home Page. Membership is free and open to all amateurs who want to encourage 
technical and operating skills. You can register by going to the SPAR Forum and 
registering, using your amateur callsign as your user name.

  Please join with SPAR in promoting amateur radio and keeping our bands alive!
