But seriously, if you want to buy a new shop, and go the pole-building
route (the least expensive option if you want a big building with a
high ceiling,) most of the vendors run discounts during the winter, so
don't wait until spring to line them up. IIRC, 8-11% off in January
is not that uncommon. Stick frame isn't quite the same, as the
foundation needs to be poured when the weather is warm enough.

We do foundations all year round down here. The joys of living in the
south.

Yeah, but you miss out on the delightful cold weather, so it evens
out. The south would be nice in the winters, but the summer heat
would drop me.

I do miss playing in the snow and hiking in the park when no cars can
get in the park. The quiet of a fresh snow is amazing. Summer heat is
something you get used to just like the thickening of the blood when
it is 10F outside. Building my house in the middle of the summer was
darned hot. Building my pole barn was not as bad as it was in the
summer but I was outside.
