Confirmed Bachelors: the dramedy hit of 1883...
Well, if I come to think of a Prog band Renaissance springs to mind.
"Beethoven can write music, thank God, but he can do nothing else on earth. ". Ludwig van Beethoven
Great choice, Progbear!
I just went through the whole thread to make sure Klaus Schulze's Mirage wasn't mentioned yet. The title might not be so wintery but the music seems so.
The truth will set you free, but first it will piss you off
Wintergatan
Sommarfågel = Summer Bird
A nice track, though.
^^^ I know - 'sommerfugl' in Danish, but their name is a hybrid, Winter Street', which refers to the Milky Way.
I like that intro of the song, it's beautiful.
Johannes Schmoelling: White Out. Great for taking a long winter walk. Below is just the title track. Love the whole album when the mood fits.
Track Ice Walk
I have to add that Schmoelling is my fav TDer as a solo artist.
In general, Fantasy’s Paint a Picture paints (ha, ha) a very wintry picture, but only this song is specifically about winter:

and there would not be any winter without Omega's Lena

Probably Uomo, the 3rd one, which I haven't been able to find either. It wasn't until many years later that I suddenly realized how great they are. Their 2nd album, Niittoiaka, is sublime. Wish they'd rerelease these, in conjunction with a 4th album, of course
Yep, Uoma is the one I haven't got. If I ever find a copy for a not-stupid price I'll be jumping on it.Probably Uomo, the 3rd one, which I haven't been able to find either.

Agree the sentiments about Niittoaika, a blissful record without a single moment that punctures the bubble. Works every time.
Pink Floyd 'Animals' has always been winter music to me, as it came out in the depth of winter in 1977
Hector Zazou & Björk - Vísur Vatnsenda Rósu
(The video is not particularily wintery, but the music is)
From Hector Zazou: songs from the cold seas (Chansons des mers froides 1994)
Definitely not the most calming or "sophisticated" choice, but for some reason whenever things get cold, Opeth scratch a particular wintery/melancholy itch for me, especially when they go all acoustic and folky.
A vie, a mort, et apres...
Well, this thread seems to have been a good omen for me. I've had Uoma on my Discogs wants list for ages and this morning it popped up on my email that a guy in Finland had a copy for sale. €26, which is more than I'd generally pay, but I grabbed it right then.
3 above Fahrenheit and the drift in my driveway is four feet high. This seems appropriate.

Hate to self-promote, but how about A Winter's Tale by Ad Infinitum
My Wintertime Picks;
1. Genesis - "Snowbound"
2. Rush - "Spindrift"
3. The Doors - "Wintertime Love"
Jethro Tull - Christmas Song, Jack Frost & The Hooded Crow, Fires at Midnight
Simon and Garfunkel - Hazy Shade of Winter
Mamas and the Papas - California Dreamin'
Girl from the North Country - Bob Dylan
The Pogues - Fairytale of New York
I also recommend Windham Hill's original A Winter's Solstice sampler. Splendid!
