A term spoken by wives of snow plowers, linemen, and other winter weather workers who choose to trivialize what it actually means to be a widow and a single parent. They define themselves this way looking for sympathy that they have to be alone/parent alone for long stretches in the winter months even though they get a trade off, in the form of a partner financially providing and also returning home. Can most likely be found in a warm home drinking wine out of personalized glasses and wearing lularoe leggings.
"I haven't seen hubby since last night and I've been alone with the kids ALL day. Time to drink wine and use the term winter widow in a hashtag on all of my posts today"

Wife 1: So, your hubby's away on yet another hunting trip, is he?
Wife 2: (Angrily) Don't remind me. I swear, if I wasn't already a hunting widow, I would kill him myself!

The girlfriends, boyfriends and spouses of Roller Derby Girls call themselves “Derby Widows”. The term originates from the fact that Roller Derby is a sport as well as a faith-based initiative and can be very time consuming, leaving ones life partner "widowed".
If you are a girl dating a Derby Girl, don’t try and fight it. You will probably become one too.
If you're a guy dating a Roller girl, either accept your derby widow status, or try to support her by supporting the league as a volunteer.
