Oil Change Interval For Short, Winter Trips

I had my oil changed in September because it was in the shop getting the transmission and differential fluids flushed. I'm still on the same interval but I think I've only put 2,500 miles on it. I don't know what the average interval is but the sticker that the shop put on says 101k but I'm only at 99k. The thing is that all my trips are less than 15 minutes and I've had the same oil all winter putting it at about 6 months. Should I change it now or wait until I hit 101k which will probably be a few more months?

During winter did the car idle alot? Idling the car alot saturates the oil with fuel. If it was me i'd change the oil since weather is warmer

I let it idle for 5-10 minute in the morning when it was really cold so that probably averages out to once a week.
