The winter brings highs down to the 20's, and night lows through the wintertime for Heart Lake tend to be in the-10's. Gotta ski! Sun Valley is a great site to do that; a great close by hotel is SnowRun
 
               by ResortQuest. This lake is so wonderful. The summit of Washington Peak can be made out from Heart Lake, and you can stay the night at Lower O'Brien Campground.
Heart Lake is pretty arid typically; December is the wettest month with most snow, and July on the other hand is the driest.

Hell Roaring Lake
17 miles away
Hi, we (wife and I) walked into the lake the 3rd week of July 2008; we took the unmaintained road to about 200 yards from the trailhead. If you take this in lieu of the walk in, plan on a 40 minute drive to cover 5-miles; your vehicle (should be high-center 4-wd) will get scratched up from the branches adjacent to the road. The parking lot holds 6-vehicles...if you encounter another vehicle coming at you, there are very few areas where you can back into/get off the road to let the other pass; it is a 'long way' to back up on a challenging road. To get to the trail head from the parking lot, you will ford 2-branches of the river/stream (10 ? 20? across)...walk across deadfall with the aid of a walking stick...or walk thru the water...just below the knee. We walked in on a tuesday and encountered 15+ people coming/going on the path. Easy 2-mile walk, many mosquitoes...quicker coming back....
