10w-40 is fine. It will flow easier in the winter, as your engine will be running cooler. I would use 20w-50 in the winter only if your car burns or leaks a lot of oil. That would slow it down.
Some new cars are using 5w-30 oil, for 2 reasons. 1) because of higher emmision standards 2) tighter clearances in the engine. If you check out an owners manual for any car (and mine was still available at Toyota, $15), you will find oil specs requirements listed for different temp ranges. I believe 10w-40 is acceptable for everything from 20* to 90*F for most cars.
