It is all weather dependent. Here's how I look at it...
It's most important to wash after lots of salt exposure followed by a temperature warm-up. That's because the salt gets dissolved in the water from melting snow and the higher temperatures increase the rate of oxidation.
One thing to be careful of is washing when it is really cold, say below 25 degrees or so. You could freeze your doors shut. The water on the seals locks up with the body and you could get water into the locking/latching mechanisms where it may freeze.
Also, make sure you wash under the body and inside the wheel wells with high pressure spray.
