I've been on the Metro in winter, notably by train. I did this in the past two winters during the "reading week" at my university, Carleton University.
(One another thing: I am dependent on a bus for most of my trips, but I sometimes go on the O-Train. The reason is that I don't have a valid Ontario drivers' licence; I still say I want to get one, however, but not to drive like I'd take it for granted.)
