It's an old bike I got second hand last summer for under 100€ from an accomplice to use to the "end". I'm getting a whole other vehicle this year, and don't ride a lot but would like to keep it at least rolling for emergencies.

You can if you don’t mind sliding out!
If the streets, bike lanes, and trails that you ride are free of snow and ice. Yes, you can ride that bike.
Winter mans different things in different places and years.
In many places winter is rainy season..For sucb places, tje amswer is yes.
In other places, there’s occasional snow. For such places, the answer is “usually. Just wait for the roads to be cleared after a snow.
In other places, it snows a lot, and you’d rarely be able to ride. For such places, the answer is “you’d be better off getting something with wider, studded, tires.”
It doesn’t look like you can clear 35mm, though it’s difficult to tell. If you can clear such a tire, these would make it a fun winter bike :

Ei kannata. Vannejarrut, maantierenkaat ja loskakeli eivät sovi yhteen
Only you can answer that question.
Trade someone for a hybrid type bike that will work better for your intended use.
I have back in the day and was not fun, but doable. Learned how to fall for sure
First pic – sure?
Second pic – oh, hell no! That kind of snow that’s been compacted by cars running over it is the worst! That said, my region typically gets like one real snow storm every year so we don’t plow that well and get the conditions in the pic and it’s also not worth it to people here to get studded tires for their bikes. A mountain bike or fat bike with studded tires is supposed to stay workable in much worse conditions. I’ve ridden my mountain bike (knobbies but no studs) in conditions like the second pic and it sucks. Mountain biking in fresher snow is fun though.
Sir, it’s a tree!
It will be risky, that’s for sure!
I will ride my bike in rain.
I will ride it down the lane.
I will ride my bike in snow.
I will ride it fast or slow.
I will ride my bike in the heat.
I will ride on any street.
I will ride it here or there.
I will ride it everywhere!
Yes
Remember Bridges and fly overs’ freeze before road surfaces. One can buy screw in small studs for tires that have some knobby out cropping’ mountain bike tires; but with just 25’s or 28 mm tires; that isn’t an option for this road bike.
I wouldn’t ride that bike, just get a commuter bike (old MTB) and throw some winter tires on that.
