is venting your dryer to the house O.K in winter?

No offense, but you really shouldn't be trying to make "educated"
guesses, Stretch. Most of your response is pretty far off the
mark but not all.
Actually, he's pretty close.

: Probably not a good idea. First it violates code in most
areas.
That's odd; not here in NY. Didn't in Chgo when I lived there.
Doesn't in Buffalo, NY. How/why would it violate code?
While I can't quote the codes, it's in there. How well do you know the
mechanical codes? We have to, it's our job,
: Second if it is a gas dryer there are gas fumes going into the
house.
True, maybe ... but most gas dryers I know of and it's been a
long, long time since I've seen one, vent the gases up the
chimney and still shoot the clothing heat out the dryer vent
hose.
You are wwwaaaayyyyy behind the times. Go to a store and look at one. Even
the big commercial jobs vent everything through one pipe.
I seriously doubt any dryer dries the clothies in the
combusted air of the gas flames. They use a heat exchanger,
same's a furnace, the few that are around. That'd sure make the
clothes smell great, wouldn' t it?
The great smell is fabric softener sheets. Gas dryers don't apply flame to
the clothes, just to the barrell of the dryer.
Seems like a good idea, but it is not.
Seems like a good idea, and it CAN be a good idea. We use it
whenever the temps go down near zero or below (farenheit).
