I'm 70, and for any rides where the temp is likely to be below about 50 degrees F, I switch from my skinny-tired bikes to a hybrid with heavy-duty 32-mm tires. Since I have clip-on aero bars on the hybrid, I can get just as good (and enjoyable) a workout as on my various road and track bikes, and I have almost no chance of flatting. You're not racing when you go out in the cold---why not use a bike that's better suited to those rides?
I've been riding racing bikes since the mid-'60s, back when tubular tires were all that were available, and I'd be embarrassed to admit how long it took me to come to the realization that riding fragile tires in the cold and wet was a bad choice. I hope you figure that out eventually, too.
