I dunno - my Cross Check is on it's 3rd winter here in Toronto and rust has developed on most of the parts and on some of the threaded braze-ons. I treat the frame internally with T9 each year but you can't coat the entire bike in rust inhibitor.
I do agree that diligent washing and care makes a big difference, which is aided by having good and convenient facilities at home to do so. However, repeated freezing/thawing and application of water presents additional issues with seals and bearings. I would hesitate to ride a nice bike through the winter in an area that salts the roads heavily. It just eats bikes for breakfast. It gets to a point where you're just better off riding a cheap beater bike and sparing the ones you love.
