The pcv system is fine. Having short trips during exceptionally cold winters will always cause condensation to form in your sump.

I wouldn't say there is any issue here, change your oil frequently and make sure to drive your car a bit longer in cold winter temps, those have always been two pieces of advice that should be followed.

But usually people do the opposite, don't change oil once over winter, and idle to warmup.

Idle to warm up is the worst thing you can do for an engine, it's like dumping tons of fuel into your oil. Fuel wears away at bearings real fast.
