What happened to the Mormons at winter quarters?

Winter Quarters, Nebraska is a place where Mormons wintered over (and some stayed for a couple years) in preparation for the trek to Utah. While it was a welcome respite and was certainly better than walking across the plains in a blizzard, disease and sickness were rampant and many suffered from malnutrition or similar ailments such as scurvy. Many Mormons lost their lives at Winter Quarters and were buried in a cemetery near the modern day Winter Quarters Temple and Visitor Center maintained by the Church.

How hard was it to get through the first winter in Utah that the Mormons faced?

The first winter in Utah (1847-48) was actually relatively mild. Also, only the advance party of perhaps 100 men spent the first winter in Utah, having left their families in "Winter Quarters" in Nebraska. Because there were few men and the weather was mild, it wasn't too difficult to provide food and shelter for them. However, that first winter was misleading - the next winter, when several thousand Mormons had arrived, was extremely cold and snowy. They were unprepared for the extreme conditions and many became very sick or even died.

Where was Washington's winter quarters in 1778-1779?

According to the Mount Vernon Library George Washington led his troops into winter quarters around Middlebrook, New Jersey in December of 1778. General Israel Putnam and his Continental Army forces entered into Winter Quarters in Redding, Connecticut. Other forces had their own locations but I assume the question is related to General Washington's winter quarters.
