Default Replacing windows during the winter???

Hi all,

I need some advice. I should have done this sooner but just thought
about it.

I just signed a contract to have my windows replaced. I spent all
summer researching windows and also changing my mind a billion times
about what options I wanted. So, it's now mid-November and I finally
got it all figured out and signed a contract. I live in New Jersey.
The job will start within approximately 8 weeks. (It's a fairly big
job cuz it's an old house and there will be different windows/options,
even the front door). Anyway, 8 weeks would mean this will be done
sometime around early January - middle of winter. Now I think maybe
that's a stupid thing. I've never owned a house before so I don't know
what I'm doing. Is it stupid to have this done in the winter? I mean,
aside from the house getting cold and the inconvenience, is there
something else I should know? Like, might there be installation issues
or problems that only occur when installing in the winter that don't
occur in the warmer months? Anything I should be looking out for???

Thanks.

New-to-home-ownership.
