I am in the NW WA area and our winters are not that cold, but I still have the following rattles: A-pillar rattles (time for a TSB? I think so), passenger side door rattles, from music playing at around 20 level (doesn't sound like the speaker is blown), window rattle when windows are down at about 3/4 way, rear trunk rattle while driving on pavement. I found TSB's for everything aside from the a-pillar rattle. Took my CX-5 in today in the morning to our Mazda (University Mazda) dealership, where I bought the ride from. Hopefully they will fix these rattles up. I'm rolling tough in a Mazda 2 loaner now. Better watch out!
UPDATE:
After driving with the Mazda tech on a rougher road, I pointed out all the rattles. The tech disassembled and reassembled my center console, right door. That eliminated some noise. I also had them reposition my a-pillars, though they claimed to "not hear any noise". I had to literally tap on the pillars for them to finally admit that there was noise. I don't hear the noise now, unless I'm on a gravel road. Hopefully the rattle won't come back.
