Seasons, especially winter, affect nature a lot and there are jobs, such as the farmer, whose jobs change or even become useless during certain seasons. This is basically as much as I could find in the wiki.
I would like to know which jobs seasons have an effect on, which seasons are the most effective for those professions and if there's a better alternative for those jobs during the weak seasons (swapping farmers to gatherers for the winter, for example)?

Well like you said, Farmer is 1 of them. They will only do their farming from early spring to early autumn. Besides that, traders only do their job when a merchant is present. I personally keep the farmers on their job at all times. And take the traders off their job once there is no merchant in sight.
Finding the right balance for your farmers/traders in the "off-season" is really dependent on where you need them the most. If you need food, give them a gatherer job. If you need buildings send them off building.
