Generally, there should be no restrictions on IR training year round.

However, do remember 3 points:

> Is the aircraft your FTO uses de/anti iced ? Even though the vis might be fine, if your aircraft is not so equipped, you might have to remain on the ground.

> Does your base airfield have published approaches, with reasonable minimums ? Not being able to get back in can be rather expensive if you have to stop over at a larger airfiled.

> Does your base airfield have more than 1 runway which will keep you within your crosswind limits - Winds as well as vis can be a limiting factor.
