In Florida, there's probably not much difference. Up here in New England, it's huge. There is some carry-over. However, the margin for error in winter is minimal. New England winter camping can get down to -30F or even colder at times. It is rare even at our higher altitudes to get below freezing in summer (I didn't say never). In winter, think simple, reliable, and get gear that can be used with mittens on.
