It depends on where you are in the US, but let's say in a typical place where you have cold dry climate in the winter, your openings are going to shrink up and you'll need thicker sides on the gouge to help with keeping them open. A larger diameter (which makes smaller openings) seems counter to what I'd recommend, but hey, everyone has their own preferences. Coldness also tends to make reeds and tone a bit more brittle. Ever soak a reed in ice cold water and play it? Then dip it in warmish water and play it? Tone difference, also is affected by weather.
