Default Firewood ?

If a tree was cut down inMarch and I just cut the logs into firewood
length pieces, would it be easier to split the wood now, or when it
has seasoned a few months? It is pine, I know I wont use it this
season.

Best time is after a long freeze. Pine is easy enough to split most any
time though.
