I farm spring and fall. So I have to cut wood in the summer and winter. But winters here are pretty mild. Prolly why I use so much oil.I never buy the summer oil, when it's that hot, my saw stays in the shed..... I only use the light on the lathe and stick with medium in the saw year round. If it's too cold for medium, it's too cold for me.

Winter is my time for firewood as well. We are also fortunate to have a mild climate with very little annual precipitation, but it is just too dry for me to run the risk of fire by cutting in the summer. About -4c is the sweet spot for me running the saw, but it can be as cold as -15 to -20 or so if the wind is calm when it comes time to split it. I still enjoy the time spent with a splitting maul and have resisted the urge to build a log splitter. Splitting wood is a peaceful way to spend some time, and as long as you are at it everyone stays away out of fear they may have to help. A real win win situation.
