Hello rooster
I am an owner of a landscape company in Vancouver, WA. I have a good amount of experience and expertise in this field. Clover is a perrinial, which means its growth will slow down or even completly stop throughout the winter months. The vegetation of the plant will appear to die back and in the colder areas will completly turn brown, just like lawns do. The good news is, the root systems are very much alive. What causes this is not necessarily cold weather, which is popular belief, but instead diminishing sunlight. As the days get shorter so does the plants ability to photosynthesize. Don't worry next spring that clover is going to grow like a weed. Clover is also a very invasive plant, so if it is near anything where you don't want it, you may want to consider installing some form of border. I enjoyed reading your posts and I will be and I will be entering a blog in this section soon. Oh yeah, deer love clover, so if they are not welcome in your garden, you may want to reconsider your choice of ground cover.
Peace
