This is the 1st winter I've gone for gears over fixed for winter miles. I like to ride in the hills a bit (to keep it interesting) and whilst fixed is ok for cadence and leg strength, it's useless for everything else (intervals etc for aerobic fitness).
Combined with some turbo and stretching I'm pretty confident things are going better with gears. Geared you can choose how hard you work, and when, and you can ride with normal people ;-)
