KMC makes rust resistant chains, which are good insurance against stiff links on a winter chain from road salt and slush. Finish Line red bottle teflon dry lube works great in dry winter riding. I've had good luck in temps well below zero, and clean/relube once a week with everyday riding yearlong. Even with a quick relube in sloppy conditions, if you run full fenders, the chain will keep clean and dry enough, so long as it isn't above freezing and pouring rain. I find that a dry lube is much better for chain cleanliness and longevity on a foul weather bike than a wet lube, which picks up more fine aggregate particles.
