Puddles don't hydrolock your car unless they're big - at which point you should be dodging them anyway so you don't lose traction/steering or go blind from spray.

Also winter may be colder than summer but I seriously doubt the engine bay would be so much colder that it would make a difference. The engine is still just as hot and producing just as much residual heat.

This is the best option
