Not trying to rain on your parade. I've been there in the winter (complete with flooding) and still totally enjoyed it. Just be prepared.

Thanks for the advice.
I live in Ireland so rain and - in the past year - severe flooding is not unusual.
I like Venice in the winter as there are far fewer tourists and the smell isn't as bad ( not from the tourists you understand ! )
