All year long.: Most commonly dust mites and molds and pets. In rare cases, what you work around.

Indoor allergens: There is little that pollinates in the winter. If you are in the south you may experience mountain cedar pollinating then, but in the north there isn't really anything. So allergies in the winter tend to be caused by indoor allergens (pets, etc), or are not allergies but upper respiratory infections, or irritant responses to pollution, response to cold/dry air, etc.

Indoor allergies: Common indoor allergens include dust mite and animal dander.

During tree, grass or weed pollen season, pollen may blow through screens or open doors or windows, making it seem like indoor allergens.  An allergist can perform skin tests for these and have an answer in 20 min.
