Zone 6 has winter temps down to -20F, so it becomes difficult to raise winter vegetables unless you have a hoop house or green house and some source of heat. With proper protection, many of the hardier greens, such as kale, collards, cabbage, and others, can survive. Without the protection, when you get the itch to grow something in Zone 6, it is best to use the winter months to germinate seeds indoors in preparation for the coming spring. In late February you can put out cabbage and onions. By mid-March the rest of the cool weather veggies can be planted (spinach, brocoli, peas, kale). Lettuces and sweet potatoes follow in early May.
