Once a month is a good rule of thumb, or more frequently if they are salting the roads in your area. Make sure to go to a wash place that has the underbody spray to get salt/debris out of the underbody, fender wells, etc.. all of which are places that are prone to rust.
Another good idea for winterizing is to replace your windshield wipers... oftentimes, during the summer when they are hardly used the rubber can get brittle, crack, or just straight up get dirty and smear crap all over your windshield. That and use Rain-X on your windows, they can be a lifesaver especially if you get splashed by a semi trailer or similarly large vehicle and can't see.
