I live in the East Bay area of No. CA and we typically have 2-3 partial (40%) frames of brood all winter.  I have treated in late Dec early Jan with OA dribble for 4 years and have never seen any adverse effects.  We have a good winter (Dec-Feb) nectar flow due to loquat and eucalyptus blooming.  In fact I have two of four colonies that are storing some extra nectar in a third super.  We have great early mid Feb build up due to wild mustard, hairy vetch and then almond blooms with early swarming starting in March.  OA in Dec-Jan here is very effective in getting a colony off to a great start.
