This is due to the cold weather that is typically experienced in the winter months. Water gets into small cracks in the road. When water freezes, it expands, causing the crack to widen. More water fills the new crack, freezes and widens it further. This cycle of freezing/melting/filling is what causes the damage to the roads.

Why are streets and highways damaged so much more in the winter months than the summer months?

When snow thaws, the water seeps into any cracks in the surface. Then when the road freezes again the expanding ice makes the cracks larger. Repeat the cycle a few times and you will have potholes.
