We don't have what most folks would call winter here. Sure, we'll have a touch of snow this week and a few days of single-digits and I'll do a lot of walking until the water becomes civilized and returns to liquid form, but that's a once per year thing. Winter is short hours of gray skies before they turn dark and plenty of rain. That's all fine riding in my book. It's not as nice as 110F, but it's so much better than frozen water that I can't complain.
Those of you riding on ice/snow: you're hard core. I'm in awe.
