I'm not too good at discerning what are people needs are, but you can't go too far wrong with a Trek. Even the 330s aren't too bad. Can't speak for Fuji's.
I have two Raleigh Gran Prix, plus a Grand Sport, and a Competition. The
Grand Sport and Competition have butted 531 frames. The Gran Prix will get
me around and I don't worry as much about locking them up for a few hours
in downtown Boston. How much biking in snow and ice do you plan to
do? I don't do much myself. Tires can make a difference in snow, but you
can go down with any sort of tire if the roads are slick.

The Competition is in the low twenties, the Grand Sport and Gran Prix are north of 25 pounds.
Most mid and low end Trek Road bikes I believe come in under 25 pounds.
