Aaron seeing isn’t seasonal - but the prevailing wind direction and the terrain upwind of your observing site will influence it. Some sites simply won’t be much good while others can be good, often.
IMHO there are three factors - transparency, seeing, and what’s up high. At a dark sky site, if the transparency is good but the seeing isn’t, just stick to low power and enjoy the DSOs.
When the seeing is very good, enjoy. But remember there’s no point in high magnificent on objects lower than 60 degreeed above the horizon.
