Because most of my plants are outside, I let Mother Nature handle the watering and therefore I cut way back on watering with fertilizer. There is generally a dry period in Jan and I will fertilize lightly then, but the temps are still cold.

I agree. Most orchids should be fertilized less in winter. The only ones that I fertilize weakly weekly year round are the vandas.
