Another seperate song:
Stern Combo Meißen - Der Kampf um den Südpol
That Eureka is really good. I'll have to play it again.
Wow, some great tips here! Kayak's Winterime - never saw it before. Ton Scherpenzeel' setup looks a bit like Wakemans! Including a bit-of-a-cape. Schulze's Mirage (esp. Velvet Voyage) is one of my favs. I had a hard time with Uzva - Temmela. Caribian Steeldrums in Winter??
Anyway, I really enjoy Lisa Bella Donna's christmas album. Not much christmas, but a lot of winter! Especially Country Snowstorm.
Speaking of 'Snowstorm'... A few classical favorites: Sviridov - Snowstorm , Prokofiev - Alexander Nevsky (battle on the ice is pure prog) and Iwan the Terrible.
Seeing him in concert with Kayak was the reason why I wanted to play keyboards.
A couple of albums that I got into during the winter but aren’t winter albums are
Bruford - One of a Kind - I remember sitting in my car one night waiting on my stepdaughters to come out of a brownie meeting listing to this and watching heavy snow coming down in the lights in the parking lot.
Gentle Giant - Three Friends. Drove home during a snow storm listening to this.

Along those lines, I came home around 3am and the power was out in my neighborhood. There had been a snowstorm the day before,
so everything was blanketed in white. There was a brilliant full moon and I enjoyed the eerie silence and moonlight reflecting off the snow
for a bit until I decided to listen to "Ice" by Camel... just one of those all-too-rare moments where everything feels right.
Winter Song. Angel
OK. Not prog. But Black Metal odes to winter don't get much better than this:
We're trying to build a monument to show that we were here
It won't be visible through the air
And there won't be any shade to cool the monument to prove that we were here. - Gene Parsons, 1973
Winter is over, it's 70 degrees in Baltimore now.
NEVER UNDERESTIMATE THE POWER OF STUPID PEOPLE IN LARGE GROUPS!

Spring - s/t (1971)
Someone mentioned Three Friends above, I think a lot of Gentle Giant feels wintery for me. Glass House (the album) does quite a bit, maybe it's me but it seems to have some higher-pitched sounds (violins and such) that sound like cold wind. Maybe It's just the black-and-white album cover making it seem that way, many albums mentioned in this thread have similarly grey or white covers (Relayer, Wind & Wuthering, Brain Salad Surgery, etc.) or perhaps light blue and otherwise cold-feeling (Voyage of the Acolyte, maybe Three Friends). Probably coincidences, but fun to notice nonetheless.
Another one I thought of that feels wintery for me is Cardiacs' A Little Man And A House And The Whole World Window, incidentally also with a greyscale cover. The polished production and the few slower songs (Both title tracks, Victory Egg) that sometimes feel both hostile and cozy contribute heartily. The beginning of The Breakfast Line is a perfect example of that, hearing rain outside over an unsettling undercurrent of weird notes and talking that turns to arguments. It's nice to not be out in the chilly rain, but you still have to listen to people acting cold. The last song on the album talking about (and making) that hissing noise helps too, the way he sings "that hissing noise" sounds so cold too.
But even more Snögång / Klocklåt (from the same album: Vendeltid)
Great stuff, wasn't aware of this one. Vinyl only releases like this make the decision to sell my turntable less easy. Looks like a few titles here get covered live on a later Looping Home Orchestra.
IMO it is his best solo album.

Band name wintery (although it means milky way)
Despite its titel this track (and the rest of the album) is wintery to me
Trespass
Does the cover of our first album count? I know that making it warmed me up (or was it "heated"?).
