Is there a strategic advantage to Russia attacking Ukraine in mid-winter, as opposed summer or fall?

I can understand not attacking in Spring – snow melt, tanks getting stuck in the mud, rivers flowing high.

To me, it seems like having 190,000 soldiers living in tents in the middle of winter for a month or two isn’t the most brilliant idea.

Why attack in February?
