Depends on the forecast. If it's going to be days of slush and snow I just let it get covered with crap. I do wipe down and lube the chain several times a week. I wipe/clean it with wd40 then when dried lube it with ice wax. When I clean the whole bike I use warm water and soap and quickly wash it down with a brush, rinse and blow dry with my leaf blower. Takes maybe 10-15 minutes. Nothing fancy in the winter but it gets a complete overhaul and cleaning in spring.
