Name: Sally central Maryland (Zone 7b) See you in the funny papers!
Kurt, cold weather crops are pretty 'cool' my zone is cooler but I've still found interesting crops to make use of these months. Brassica type things, especially if you like greens. I just planted fall onions for the first time and yes, have some green shoots and garlic was very successfull last year here (except leaf miners..)
PS if I ever own a goat, forgive me if I name it Kurt Vonne.
