I've always ridden all year round and my maintenance plan, such as it is, doesn't really change in winter. At the start of winter I clean and ACF every inch of the bike and leave it overnight to soak into all the hard to reach bits. I do the same once the winter is over and don't touch it again until next Winter. I've found one important place not to miss with the ACF is both ends of the spokes.
It seems to do the trick, I've never had any rust issues.
As for keeping warm, heated gear is the way to go. I find grips make my hands very uncomfortable, hot inside, cold outside - it causes me considerable pain.
