The coon will hole up with cold weather.You'll see again them whenever the temp rises.Except during the coon rut in February. Then that old buck will be out no matter how cold it gets.
A baited cubby guarded with a 220 works pretty well for coon any time of year.

Critters use paths of least resistance all year round.They may change because of snow drifts etc but they will use the easiest path between 2 points.Try to think of where they are going.
I've never tried snareing "over " a big bait but if you know where there is a deer gut pile you might try guarding all paths to it or maybe make one of your own.
good luck
