Players will continue playing if there is adequate gain to do so. If winter is to be detrimental to the player due to the cold, it must become a valuable time to play in terms of potential resources. I'm not talking snowcaps and the odd ermine here. You'll play during the winter because if you don't brave the cold you will fall behind faster than you would quitting in the Summer. You will be excited for winter's embrace, spiting the cold but preparing to reap the rewards. It's the same feeling of the pre-dungeon prep, knowing your character could die, hyped up for a fight, thirsting for the reward, but spread out over a month.
Frankly if winter isn't interesting, and I don't think it is (even as a non-farmer), I'd rather see it removed. It could be re-added later with new content. I wouldn't care if they skipped a month of patches, just working on one big one to "fix winter". I feel the scales of balance are tipped wildly right now and could use one bigger change, rather than gradual adjustment.
kicksleds are fucking awesome though ngl
