LONG AND HARD ANSWER: Although ants can be seen in various places from spring to autumn, they go into hibernation in the winter. In addition, from spring to autumn, many ants are seen to come from, and go into, the entrances of their nests, but these entrances are closed in winter and no ants are seen to come from there.

Where do ants pass the winter?

The body temperature of ants changes in response to the atmospheric temperature. In winter, their body temperature falls so greatly that their movements inevitably grow sluggish. Therefore, they hibernate restlessly in relatively warm places, such as the soil or under the bark of trees.

Most species of ants eat a large amount of food in autumn to put on fat, thereby allowing them to go without food through the winter.

The entrance to the ant nest nests is closed as a natural result of the slowdown and cessation of ant traffic. Furthermore, soil or sand has accumulated around the entrance. When spring comes and it gets warmer, the ants become active and open up the entrance of their nest to venture outside.

SHORT AND EASY ANSWER: So, ants are usually found in hot places, but they could be found in cold places aswell. Although, they hibernite during winter, but anyways, all I'm saying is that you could find ants in hot AND cold places.
