Fifty years ago it was extremely rare to see a Robin around this latitude in winter but with the "global warming" (  ) that we find ourselves in Robins stay around in flocks, eating dried crab apples and thornapples and such from trees and I've even seen them 'budding' much like grouse do in winter... but I've never seen one at a bird feeder.
