the problem with a route will be that others have to deal with it when
modifying the road geometry, and it will be almost impossible to do it
without the descriptions. I also agree that the route data is not of
primary (or secondary ;-) ) interest to osm. Instead you could add an
attribute to the roads whether there is winter service or not. This is
already done somewhere, e.g. with the tag "gritting"
http://taginfo.openstreetmap.org/search?q=gritting
and with the tag "winter_service"

cheers,
Martin
