Winter flying

With the winter looming upon us I am still keen to continue hour building throughout the next few months. I am new to winter flying and would like to find out more about the hazards and other things to look out for during winter.

I am aware that I should stick to flying below the freezing level, avoid precipitation, increase landing and T/O distances, de-ice the A/C before flight, check for carb icing....I have also read the CAA's guide to winter flying.

However I am keen to hear from those of you who have experience flying during the winter.

What did you find most challenging? Any other obvious things to watch out for?

Thanks
