I have been in the ready mix concrete business all my life and have poured many foundations in the winter time.

The key is that the ground not be frozen when the foundation is excavated to avoid settling when the ground thaws. The concrete itself is not an issues as there are additives in the concrete to assure it does not freeze before it has cured.
