Long story short. The factory alignment specs will provide you the best setup even for winter. maybe a little more caster if you really want to. if you have any questions pm me

To add to that, camber is needed to keep the tire flat as suspension compresses and body roll comes into play. In the winter, you're probably not loading up the suspension anywhere near as much, which means the tire is pretty flat with 0 camber.
I'd probably go with -1 F and -0.5 R to keep it reasonable on dry pavement too.
I drive with ~-2.5 all around all year, and it's definitely not ideal for timid drivers with that much rear camber on slick surfaces.
