That is fine, but if you are an experienced roadie a fixed gear will refine your spin and you wont lose your ability to pedal circles. I know some people get lazy and just use the momentum of the crank to get through the backstroke of the pedal cycle, but an experienced rider will not.

To be honest it does not sound like you have given a fixed gears a fair shake. I would cite all the awesome riders who ride a lot of fixed gear in the winter, but if doesent work for you it doesent work for you.
