Should i restart a new training phase.

Well I'm at week 12 of the trad plan and have been following the plan kinda loosely, but have seen results regardless.  Before i would have trouble climbing a 10c in the gym, and i just did my first 11b on toprope at the gym near my house, and am actually working on v4+ boulder problems now(  I have noticed certain sit starts kick my ass).  
This brings me to my question, I was hoping that by week 14 it would finally be warm enough to get outside but not a chance near where i live outside Chicago, and climbing at devils lake.  Still a good amount of snow on the ground and only 15 degrees so do i keep plugging along through the performance phase anyhow or should i start a whole new phase with the plan of peaking around June when the weather is nice.
     I was thinking of starting this Sunday, and with the results i had gotten from not being all that strict i'm hoping being very strict with the training this cycle and paying way more attention to the diet i will really see amazing results.

What you think does this sound like a good idea.

Congrats on the progress!  Moving into the next range will open up a ton of great trad options. Starting anew sounds like a good plan.  I started a new season too.  I had planned it this way, and have just finished a week of PE, a comp, and then 10 days of rest. My new season starts now with ARC and a peak aimed for mid to late May.   

There are some great trad lines at the Red too-- so you could hit some early performance time there before Devil's Lake warms up.

This is exactly what I did as well. Skipped performance phase entirely as well as most of power endurance phase, due to weather not being good enough to get outdoors much. Starting a new phase early also fit in well with a planned trip in May. I still took the rest phase though (I definitely felt like I needed it).
