There are several reasons, but a primary one is that frozen ground is easier to move logs over than muddy soil. In older times, logging in the winter also allowed you to stack the cut logs on river ice, so that when the ice broke up in the spring the logs would be 'driven' downstream to the mill. Also, with the cold most of the under brush would be dead and trailblazing would be easier.

When you hear insects being said to be lumbering, it means they are flying from flower to flower. Basically mindlessly flying around from flower to flower like it is lost or in another world.
