Cold weather actually prolongs the viability of the ebola virus according the MSDS sheet anyways.

SURVIVAL OUTSIDE HOST: The virus can survive in liquid or dried material for a number of days (23). Infectivity is found to be stable at room temperature or at 4°C for several days, and indefinitely stable at -70°C (6, 20). Infectivity can be preserved by lyophilisation.

MSDS are not very scientific in that they lose important detail. Specially freeze dried virus can be made viable but it is very difficult to reconstitute. Here are some papers on real life fomite spread:

No dry spread, that is one certainty.

There’s an MSDS sheet on Ebola? Who knew?
