The article documents a systematic literature review on the impacts of the season of winter on Information Systems. The search delivered 43 articles, of which 36 ended up to content analysis. On the contrary to the original research idea, winter seems to have no whatsoever impact on information systems, at least according to our sample. On the contrary, information systems are used to support key society activities in winter conditions. According to the findings the most important areas are road and airport maintenance and management in winter conditions, and increasing of wheat crops in winter time.
