Whether or not the compost you started surrounded by August will be ready contained by March depends on what you put in the pile and how it be built. Compost will happen eventually, but we can speed the process along near proper techniques.
The process slows considerably surrounded by cold weather, especially with the small piles that most gardeners hold space for, but don't worry, when you can work the pile contained by the spring, turn it to get oxygen into it and it will start cooking again.
If you option, you can incorporate the semi finished compost into your garden, saving the smaller amount decomposed items for your new piles that you will build as the season go by.
Small scale composting is not an exact science and at hand will always be parts of the pile that become rancid quicker than others. That is why it's important to enjoy space to turn the piles and keep them mixed up.

Good Luck and Happy Gardening from Cathy and Neal!
If you're within a cold-Winter area, the composting pursuit slows considerably when temperatures turn toward freezing. If it's not frozen, turn it and water it to speed the process along.
Whether it'll be primed in March depends somewhat on the "ingredients". I've found that it's important to enjoy a good go together of carbon (brown) materials, such as fallen leaves and shredded composition and nitrogen (green) materials, such as grass clippings and vegetable scraps to engineer compost quickly.
Too much of one component, allowing it to dry out and departure it sit without frequent turning can rob much longer to yield finished compost.
