I *like* cold weather. Where I live in Northern California it's rarely cold
enough for me, and the cold weather doesn't last long enough to suit me. To
the list of winter food I'll add:

Coq au vin
Guinness-braised short ribs
Spaghetti with "Sunday Gravy"
Onion soup
Pastitsio/Moussaka/Lasagna/Eggplant parmigiana
Timpano-like casseroles
"Loaded" potato skins
Pot pies of any kind, including pasties
Posole
Grilled sandwiches/panini with soup
Just about anything from Cook's Illustrated's _Cover and Bake_

I like to make a pot of chili on Super Bowl Sunday, though I might not do
that this year; I might make something from the regional food of the
competing teams.

I never thought of chicken & rice as winter food; I like it any time of the
year.
