I have found many caches hidden in signs, guardrails and things like that. Those are often just as easy to find in the winter as they are in the summer.

Tell folks to do their homework ahead of time when winter caching, and only go for those caches that have the attribute label that it is accessable during winter -- (snowflake), or else they may be disappointed. Winter is a good excuse to take a vacation south to warmer climes (if possible) and make it a "caching vacation" :) If you have relatives that live somewhere warm, plan a family-reunion. Stay with them and introduce them to caching.. Could turn out to be a yearly tradition! Just my ideas........ Your article has some really good pointers.

I don't leave the confines of the city limits when bad weather is happening. Not that this old Eagle Scout can handle it, but my wife on the other hand isn't too thrilled with the idea of me caching in the middle of a blizzard. I would too if it wouldn't cause her to go insane. ;) In the winter time I tend to geocache in and around my home town. I don’t leave the confines of the city limits when bad weather is happening.
