He'd be barely old enough to be her dad, if that. Lets break it down shall we. Qrow is the same age as Taiyang, whose eldest daughter is the same age as Winter's younger sister (17). So Qrow is certainly old enough to be Weiss or Yang's dad.

But Winter looks to be more than a few years older than Weiss (I know looks are decieving in this show but hear me out). She's clearly a higher ranking figure in Ironwood's military, so that implies she's not that young, the military does not look to be in the habit of having teens/young twenty somethings in that kind of roll (unless they are robots). The way she speaks and carries herself is very mature, but my estimate is that she is mid to late 20's. That would make her at 8-11 years older than Weiss, which isn't that unbelievable. It would also exlain their weird relationship, theres an awkward sibling age gap (in contrast to Ruby and Yang being very close and only 2 years apart)

Now look at Qrow. Already described as "dusty" and "old", he's no spring chicken. But his nieces are still teens and he's the same age as their dad so he's not super ancient. Now, assuming that Yang was born after her dad and co. graduated Beacon (at age 21), and assuming they were out their for a few years before Raven/Taiyang hooked up, lets say she was born when they were in their own mid twenties (24-26). + 17 years to the present would make Taiyang and Qrow 41-43. So if Winter is at youngest 25, and Qrow is at oldest 43, theres only an 18 year gap between them, which is not usually thought of as being old enough to be ones parent. However this is all speculation and educated guesswork from myself. i might be totally wrong. Feel free to give thought.
