I love drops for warmer weather, but for winter I use a set of bull horns wider than my shoulders. I use 40 drops and 44 bullhorns.
I had a real hard time getting good brake lever control on hoods while wearing winter weight gloves. I ended up pushing my weight to far forward to keep my fingers placed well on my levers which left me with an unstable feeling on ice. Using the actual drops gave me good break control, but a bad posture on rutted ice. The bullhorns with “reverse” levers let me keep two fingers on the lever and two on the bars comfortably in bad terrain. The extra width is a comfort and general less skittish feeling YMMV.
My winter bike is a single speed with discs and it works quite well.
