Definitely. It's hard at the start, because you're going to freeze really quickly, but you can do it. You just have to be really fast about chopping down trees & gathering grass so you can make a campfire. Food-wise, you're going to be relying on meat after the first couple days.

The hardest thing is having to stop very frequently to warm up again, because you don't have the supplies to make winter clothing. Getting two bunnies to make earmuffs or finding beefalo to make a winter hat/beefalo hat should be a huge priority. A thermal stone can also help a ton. You have to be careful with your twigs and grass, too, since it won't grow until spring. I found myself using fire pits more than campfires. (I actually started in kind of a crappy location, though. Not a lot of grass tufts nearby.) If you have RoG, you can spend a lot of time in the desert to get straw/twigs from tumbleweed.

Sanity can be an issue, too, especially if you're playing Wickerbottom (like I was) and can't sleep (or don't have enough food to recover from sleep).

It was kind of a fun setup, though, I enjoyed it. I actually had the world set up for a long winter, too, so I had a lot of time to set up my base. Spring felt really, really weird once it arrived.
