The short answer
There is no reliable nationwide yes-or-no answer. Check the property jurisdiction, grounds, emergency restrictions, court procedure and any protections affecting the particular tenancy and enforcement date.

Verify the current local rule
Use the official court, housing agency and applicable statutes. Distinguish filing a case from physically enforcing possession; seasonal or emergency restrictions may affect those steps differently.
Preserve required services
A dispute does not justify disconnecting heat or utilities to force departure. Maintain applicable obligations while obtaining advice on the lawful notice and court process.
Example: an enforcement restriction
A local restriction may postpone a particular enforcement action without deciding every issue in the case. Ask qualified local counsel how it affects your actual dates rather than using a generic winter eviction article as authority.
