I end up camping more in the winter than the rest of the year. Less people around, no bugs, and did I mention less people? Bring it!

They're the worst. What are we gonna do with them.
lol well don't go to the Adirondacks because there can be lots of people there in the winter. I once camped at Bushnell Falls and was relishing the solitude and the -15deg temps and no wind on a clear, moonless night... and a solid 3 hours after sundown—the time when you dare think you're safe—this horde of about 20 noisy people came in and set up their basecamp/HQ.
However, most places you've got it pretty much to yourself.

"Total daytime snow accumulation of 18 to 24 inches possible."
Yea we're getting hammered. It's definitely on.
Once you're lost in twilight's blue, you don't find your way, the way finds you.
I am forced to be excited about it. Once I get out the first time it is astounding.

Not sure if this has been mentioned already but one of the easiest way to carry gear in the snow is a "pulk". Mine was made from a kid's plastic toboggan with 3/4 inch electrical conduit for the arms. I dipped the ends of the pipes in liquid tape so bare hands wouldn't freeze to them, drilled a hole in each for a carabiner and attached the arms to a loop of seatbelt webbing around my waist.
Not only was it easy to carry gear, I could take a full size ax and use the pulk to gather firewood once I arrived at the campsite.

Tons of info scattered here. Many have built and went the toboggan route to haul major gear/stoves. I have plenty of space with the popular Paris pulk.
