I guess wind is the biggest challenge for a tent, add snow and this is where a four season tent comes in. Any exposed netting that cannot be blocked(with a zippered tent body)will oftimes allow wind blown snow to come in.

Most 3 season tents will work great in the winter though, and when combined with a high R-value pad along with a reliable bag(i.e. zero or below), winter camping is a snap. A good bag is the most important consideration.
