Rubber lines can break down over time, and the fluid gets contaminated, turning light/clear fluid darker. Air/water in the fluid is bad. Very high heat can be bad (so one must use a higher heat fluid if one expects to be racing or doing anything that will require lots of brake/clutch use). If you don't have metal braided lines in the brake/clutch system, you'd probably benefit from them, or at least a change in the old rubber lines to new rubber lines. Cold temps turn most fluids thick, and that's why those in Cold Winter areas should use lighter viscosity engine oils. Brake fluid is usually of light viscosity, and I don't know whether you'll find a "Winter Blend", as I've not looked for one. I'd say that it is time to change that brake/clutch fluid, though.
