Matching oil viscosity to air temp

Hi folks,
This forum is a great resource; thanks for all the useful information.
My question concerns the type of oil I should use in my Toro 1028LXE snowblower. The manual says to use straight 30W when the air temp is 32 degrees F, 5W30 or 10W when the temp is 0 to 32 degrees F, and 0W30 synthetic when the temp is below 0 F. From past experience, I'll be using the snowblower in all three of those temp ranges. Changing the oil as the weather conditions change seems like overkill. Is it best to go up the middle and use 5W30 or 10W? Which type of oil offers the most protection over the widest range of temperatures? The snowblower is stored in an unheated barn.
Thanks,
Mike
