Ok this is the place to find what months are what Season in Starfall. Also to discuss any given days weather if you are wanting to reference it but want to make sure not to contradict what it should logically be
Seasons will follow each to it's own reply.
Remember Pern has 13 months of 28 days each with one extra day called Turnover Day. There will never be a 29th, 30th or 31st of any month!!!

Season - Winter!
Month 5 - Weyr - Frost is now the common sight around the weyr with the lake being unbearable to humans. Snow flurries begin. Coast - Cool and clear, fun to walk on but too cold for recreation.
Month 6 - Weyr - Snow abounds! Due to it's elevation in the mountians Starfall gets a lot of snow and snow sports are very popular. The lakes edges would freeze if not for the regular dragon activity in it, many dragons prefer to got to the coast however as the water is warmer even though still cold. Coast - Cold beaches are lovely to look at but not to linger on.
MidYear Gather! The second largest Gather and party for the weyr, it is limited to weyr and hold residents due to the weather but is a great spirit lifter! Held at the end of Month 6.
Month 7 - Weyr - All travel in or out of the weyr except by air is impossible thanks to the snow. Flurries occur most days with heavier bouts of storm on a regular seeming schedule. Coast - Warmer than the weyr but not by much. Dry however and not prone to snow though occasion flurries will occur and melt without sticking.
Month 8 - Weyr - Getting warmer each day though still bone-chilling cold. Snow slack off rather suddenly truning into freezing rains instead. Coast - Rain showers begin and drench the beaches this month.
(for reference)
Temperature range at the Weyr:
Low: -5°F / 20.5°C
Max: 50°F / 10°C
