It's a myth that ticks are inactive all winter. You can still pick up ticks in the winter if the weather is warm enough.

But sustained cold weather does decrease the population.

It’s more about the frequency, timing etc of weather. Warm to cold swings and frequency of cold dips effect ticks. Freezing temperatures for two weeks straight doesn’t really change anything.
