Don't expect Bermuda to be balmy in December. Don't be surprised by cold winds blowing off the canals of waters of Venice or Britain in February. You might also find businesses in those places closed for the season, and even a few attractions shut down for remodeling. The key, once again, is research. Find out if the things you want to see and do are available in the off season. If so, trade-offs like shorter lines and lower prices might more than compensate for less-than-perfect weather.
