I live in Montana and so not only do I put a good helping of leaves in my bin, I also pile them around the outside to hold in the warmth. Then in the spring, I have dried leaves to add to the bin again. Of course, some of the newer composting bins are fairly well insulated and some even have wheels to make moving your bin a cinch.
