Winter Final Drive Lube Change?? Help!!

Do you guys change your final drive lube in the winter?

It's a tough one for me to call. We've had highs in the 30s and even in the 20s today. But here in NJ it can go up to the 50s for a week or two. These temps straddle the 41 degrees Fahrenheit for changing. I want to ride today in the twenties to test my new Hippo Hands, but I don't want to do damage to the bike. What do you guys do???

Thanks!!
Tom
