Raccoons do not hibernate. Cold rarely causes them to stay in their den and sleep. However, deep snow makes it nearly impossible to find food so they will den up until conditions improve. I have spent a couple winters in Missouri and the snow can get deep enough to prevent raccoons fro being active.
