Rockspyder, thanks for the tips. Seems everybody envies a winter until they live somewhere that gets cold! The grass is always greener and all that... though having distinct seasons is certainly something I cherish, despite the occasional winter frustrations. I can't complain too much, though. I'm in the Pacific Northwest now, where winters are tame compared to every other Canadian city I've lived in.

To answer your question about letting the jaw fill back in: yes, it's happening! I'll include some profile shots in the next update. It's only a week since the barber clipped it down, so there's not much to see at this point. At this rate I think I'm looking at at least a month or two of unevenness until things catch up.
