CCD is defined as a list of symptoms, not a cause.
The symptoms are specified in a way that require warm
weather (absence of otherwise likely wax moth predation, 
robbing).  Therefore, CCD can never occur up north in 
the winter.

Of course, the causative agent of CCD may be the same
causative agent of your hive's demise, but that is
not knowable at this point because we do not have
a proven causative agent for CCD.
