Thermodynamics unfortunately disagree. As your temperature deltas get smaller efficiency goes down.

"Thermodynamics" is singular :) As for the numbers, my AC's manual shows COP of 3.71 for heating and 3.13 for cooling.

So you are spot on, in winter temperature deltas are larger, and efficiency goes up.
