Aloha and welcome IndianaBeeMan.  There's lots of useful information throughout the forum.  I'm in a tropical climate, so my overwintering is quite different from yours.  There are many beekeepers in cold climates that can give you feedback, however this posting area is primarily for introductions, so you would be best to browse around a little for information, then perhaps start a new thread/post with your questions or request for help/information.  To get you started off, here's a few older threads to peruse:
