Winter is a great time to climb in Zion, just be aware of wet rock. As you've probably seen on the wet rock damaged climbs compendium thread (or whatever it is), broken holds can really destroy a route.
Otherwise, have fun. Also, yak trax can be nice for snowy descents here, sometimes they get icy.
It should be good this next week, it has been raining some but it has been sunny since and 50 should be optimal in the sun. If you're looking for a partner or an extra hand I'd come climb. I live close by.
