Yes, this song did inspire Led Zeppelin - I'm surprised this, the original version, has so few comments! I really like Joan's live performance, as her voice has this haunting quality and the guitar conveys a sense of urgency and restlessness. I like vphi's interpretation.
Personally, I like to interpret it as a metaphor. Like being in a relationship which you know isn't quite right - you feel like you can't commit and you can already see how it will end - but winter is cold and lonely and you care about them, so you don't want to leave them until summer.
