This blows my mind. My hubs feel like they have glue in them at -10.. I took my studs off last night as there isn't enough snow out there yet and felt I was ruining them. Spinning the hubs they have a ton of resistance. What kind of grease do you use for your winter steeds. I repacked my girlfriend's hubs with Motorex white grease this fall and they seem better than mine. I even mixed in a drop of phil wood tenacious oil in the rear to thin it out a bit.

I am thinking dura-ace special freehub grease all around would be awesome, but damn expensive.
