Caught a couple flying around in the house throughout the winter myself. I don't think I got bit but thought it was ridiculous that they were still around.

Edit: Not since the new year though thankfully

Do you have a fireplace or wood burning stove? Mosquitos hide dormant in dead wood over the winter, so it's not uncommon to bring in some logs from outside and have the mosquitos inside wake up, thinking it's spring in your nice warm house.

I learned this when I was getting bites inside my own house with sub-freezing temperatures outside.
