Absolutely. Throw a closed cell foam pad under the sack and a 1/2 or 3/4 air mattress inside. My estimation is that this adds 10-15 degrees of warmth to your sleeping bag rating. Don't expect the Event to be miraculous in terms of vapour transfer on a cold night but better than Goretex.

I don't own this, but looking at it, it perhaps could used used for snow camping (for alpin-style ascents), though I would imagine it was designed for more shoulder-season use. But it is made with eVent which is a phenomenal breathable water barrier, and as long as you had good insulation from the ground (Z-rest + winter thermarest or an Exped Downmat, etc.).
