Look at some of the greatest games played in cold weather, snow conditions... did it make for the prettiest presentation on tv? Maybe not, but you can't tell me the games weren't great.
I could see issues with many of the 'non-game' festivities...
Now, the SuperBowl that will be held in Dallas... we don't have NY weather, but it can be just as horrible that time of year down here. The stadium has the roof, so they can protect the 'visual presentation', but it didn't stop them from giving Dallas a SB game.
The key factors regarding the city chosen should all be about how they can support the people, the events, transportation, etc.

I dont think there should be an issue with cold weather Super-Bowls, but something like NYC where it could be snowing, presents a huge problem. The Super Bowl is about more than just a game. It's a huge celebration. There is all the festivities leading up to the game, the half time show and the tourism.
There are just certain cities that just shouldn't host one. How do you pull off fireworks and a live half time show with a snow covered field? How do you get the stage and the hundreds of people and props, etc onto the field during a snow game? People are comparing Superbowls of 20 years ago to Superbowls of today, but things have changed way to much to make that comparison.
