? Cargo Racks In The Winter

Does any one of you take off your cargo rack for the winter. If so, why?

I'm a little confused, is it a common occurrence to remove the rack in the winter? Have you noticed a trend? Maybe people use it for summer holidays, then want to improve aerodynamics the rest of the time.

I take the cargo basket off so I can put the canoe on top. Does that count?

Yea, we don't see much snow down here in this part of the country, except for up in the mountains, but nothing too bad. This will be my first winter with my cargo basket, but i think im gonna leave it.
