How to protect partially stripped deck through winter?
My deck was in poor shape so I decided to strip the old paint (put on my previous homeowner) and apply a stain/sealer. I've had a terrible time trying to strip the paint off, and now my deck is kind of half and half bare and painted.
In addition, I've got the problem of living in MN and it is now October. All of the products I have seen say do not apply if the temp gets below 50 in a 24 hour span (or similar). That will never happen until will into Spring.
So -- Does anyone have advice on how to protect my deck through the winter so I can finish this job in the spring? Will something like Raincoat get me through?
Thanks!

Anything you lay over that decking is just going to cause more issues because it's not going to dry out.

I wouldn't worry about it and just keep working as long as you can. Once the temps warm up again in the spring, finish removing any paint you have left and then clean the deck with a 50/50 bleach/water mix and stain it then.
