"the harsh restrictions provoked anger and outrage in the public," is an independent clause. An independent clause is a clause that can stand alone as a sentence and does not need any other parts.
"During the long winter" is an adverbial clause, which means it is describing how something is before the sentence. It could be more closely compared to a dependent clause because it cannot act alone in a sentence.
I think because is your best option.

Answer:
"You are going near the post office?" Mrs. Reid asked her husband.
"Yes," he said. "Is there anything you want?"
"Could you get me a small registered envelope, please?" Mrs. Reid said, "I've got to send some money to my sister in Guyana."
"Ok," Mr. Reid said. "I'll get a Coulee. It may be useful to have a spare one available."
Explanation:
There are many ways that this paragraph could be punctuated. However, in my interpretation, I used commas to integrate my quotation marks, etc.
For example:
"Ok," Mr. Reid said. "I'll get a Coulee. It may be useful to have a spare one available."
I decided to add a period to the end of "said." However, you could choose to do it differently. For example, you could choose to write it like this:
"Ok," Mr. Reid said, "I'll get a Coulee. It may be useful to have a spare one available."
(Notice how I replaced the period with a comma? That simply means that "Ok and "I'll get a Coulee" is all one sentence versus two sentences. Both versions are grammatically correct. The writer simply needs to choose which one s/he wants.)
