Riding my bike in winter? Most natural thing I have done all my life.

I'm sure it is, but Dutch winters are relatively mild and - more importantly - you have actual bike infrastructure. The problem with winter cycling here isn't so much the cold, it's the fact that there's a snowbank where the bike lane used to be, even less room on the roads than usual, and so much ice and slush around the edges of the road that I need more clearance than usual to be safe. What little cycling infrastructure exists is treated as an afterthought and clearly secondary to all other transportation infrastructure.
