I apply wet condition lube to the chain after every ride/wipe of the chain, but the conditions are extreme for the equipment. I'm considering running a SA 3-speed and single ring up front for next winter, I will just need a longer axle and the SA thumb shifter. I won't sacrifice my '50s window triggers to the winter slog...
