Just thought of something when the word "winter" came up. If you live in
the burbs there is peculiar habit for people to put up a temporary
driveway shelter consisting of a metal tube framework covered with a
plastic/fibreglass covering. This metal framework in each driveway may
well be doing something to the signal conditions too. Perhaps reflecting
more waves off the ground and raising the angle a bit enough to hit your
antenna more squarely?
