I also ride my two mountain bikes in the winter. I got one MTB with
fenders, carrying rack etc. for commuting, and an Cannondale 700 for
off-road training (without fenders). I also get snow stucked between
the fork, under the fenders, on the rear derailleur etc. I don't
think there is anything you can do about it - snow is snow is snow
is...

My Cannondale is equipped with the old Rock Shock fork (pre
mag20/30). It does not lock up in the winter, but due to the material
used in the fork, you will get a feeling of a loose headset when it
get cold outside. I got a fax from Rock Shox (US) where they can
confirm this feeling, and there is nothing to worry about.
