If there have been frosts and the nest has chilled sufficiently the wasps are probably dead. Check the nest and look for any signs of activity. If you see absolutely no activity over a period of time then it may be save to remove the nest. If you have the slightest doubt, get professional help.
Vinegar alone will not kill yellow jackets but if you mix it with other ingredients it will kill them. You will need to mix vinegar with water and liquid dish soap.
In Scotland, yes. I'm not sure about anywhere else.

Only new queen wasps hibernate, and they don't do it in the old nest, the rest die when the cold weather comes. So in winter there should be no live wasps in a nest, and nothing should happen if it is disturbed.Watch the nest for a while to see if there is any activity, and if you have the slightest doubt get professional help to remove it.
The lifespan of a wasp nest depends on the species of the wasp, for example new queens or males. A male wasp can nest from April to August. A queen wasp can nest from April to October. Many wasp die off but the queen goes off into hibernation and returns in the spring.

In the middle of winter, it is highly unlikely that it was a wasp. It was probably some other type of flying insect.
The queen wasp will either hibernate inside the old nest or build a new smaller one. The queen wasp is the only wasp that survives the winter. The rest of the wasps in the next die.
Wasps all die in the winter except for the queens who hibernate (usually underground) and restart the colony in the spring.

A wasp nest can grow to be as large as a basketball or even bigger. The size of a wasp nest is influenced by factors such as the species of wasp, the availability of food sources, the climate, and the location of the nest.
A wasp nest can grow to be as big as a basketball or even larger, depending on the species of wasp and the environment.
wasp as to nest
If the nest of a wasp is completely destroyed, the wasps will search for another place to make a nest.
The female wren does.
You can determine if a wasp nest is active by observing the presence of wasps entering and exiting the nest, as well as listening for buzzing sounds coming from the nest. Additionally, you may notice an increase in wasp activity around the nest during the daytime.
