I think that for the accumulated price tag of the parts you're shopping, I'd rather have a 3-season drop bar fender bike with all the nice parts and a crude flat bar studded-tire winter bike. Hey, looks like Clifford already said that.

Some bike hydraulic brakes use DOT fluid and some (notably for this thread, Shimano) use mineral oil, you want the former for bitter cold and the latter for just about any other reason
