I would say you'd be better off waiting for the weather to be warmer and dryer, there would be nothing worse than a downpour when the paint is taking days rather than hours to dry properly because of lower temperatures.
best to wait till a good run of weather.

It is possible to paint in the winter months but you have to pick your days very carfully. The lower temperatures can help in the fact that the paint will stay thicker, Thick paint can always be thinned but in the heat of the summer can get too thin and cant be thickened up. As long as there is no dew and the surface is dry, paint can go on. If glossing it might be necesary to add a bit of driers to the paint to speed the drying process up. You only have a short window of about 4 hrs when painting, about 10am till 2pm if your lucky.
