So many scenarios to consider. Where would you be when such a need for defense occurs ? Low light and winter are two different scenarios. You can train for each individually and conquer both equally when combined. We like to train scenarios like pumping gas or carrying bags in a store parking lot. Maybe even just entering a vehicle or exiting one in a parking lot. Awareness of your surroundings makes you prepared the most for all of these. Weather conditions would or could make drawing a weapon slower unless your aware when the likely hood of an incident could be the greatest. When I am in areas where I may need to be in defense mode, I don't bulk up but instead dress down. You can be warm but still be prepared.

Try practicing your drawing skills while wearing winter coats, hoodies, or even a bunch of layers. Make sure to get comfortable with 1handed draws, just in case your other hand ends up stuck in a pocket or wrapped up in a glove.
