Hi there.
Yesterday my sister`s English teacher said that in Great Britain there are four winter months, not three. I`ve checked the articles about Great Britain in Wikipedia in two languages but there wasn`t such info in both of them. Then I`ve decided to surf the Internet thinking I would find exact answer but in the end I didn`t. Also, my sister was rather serious about what she`d said, and now I don`t even know if I`m right or not.:DD
So the question is, how many winter months in Great Britain?

Not sure about England, Wales or Ireland, but up here in Scotland it's winter every day of the year from the cold and freezing temperatures. When the sun comes oot, it's a sign of the apocalypse.

Joking aside, generally I think it's better to have 'equal' amounts of seasons so I'd say three, but again, where I come from we can get snow around April, so I don't think there's like a fixed system in place. Going back on my point, I was taught when I was younger that it was three months for each season and this site generally gives the months and stuff - Click
So three months I guess - I wouldn't be surprised a teacher said more, it gets pretty cold for a while! xD

Thaanks a lot for your answer, with its help I finally managed to wipe my sister`s eye >:B

"...where I come from we can get snow around April.."
We have three winter months too but looking at our weather it seems that out winter lasts all nine except summer, nevertheless I remember it was snowing in August last year. For example, three days ago there was a strong snowfall in my city. Some trees were broken by wind and puddles were covered with ice, that`s how cold it was outside. Though the day before it there were +7 degrees:"DD

South Korea- 4~5 months, starting in late November and ending anywhere from late March to mid April.
