I thought I remember hearing that it was getting cold and winter was coming but it always looked fairly warmish and I couldn't find where it was said. I watched the entire season in 2 days (save for the first 2 eps) so a lot of info I just forgot, but I have to point out that just because it is "cold" wouldn't mean winter. They are in the Apalachian Mountain range and with altitude comes colder climate, even in summer.

Also, I was going to put more detail into each day of the contemporary timeline, but I didn't want to rewatch to check the days, as it seems that there are a few days skipped here and there, but each episode is roughly 2 days and comes to 20 days (which is why the 2nd books is called 21st day or whatever). I do wonder how the writers plan to continue this series for any length of time considering if they continue with having roughly 2 days per episode and 2 (~13 ep) seasons a year they won't be able to maintain these characters for long... 10 seasons = 500 days or 1.5 years. So they're going to have to time skip at some point or killing cast.

Side note - I was trying to figure out the lay of the land. Nothing really makes sense. If we believe that they landed west of Mount Weather as it seems to indicate in the Pilot, then they would have traveled East to get there meaning that the grounders are between them and Mt Weather. Which means Lincoln's plan to go east makes no sense, because that would have them going directly into grounder territory rather than away from that territory. This would also mean they shouldn't go "east" but south-east to get around "hopefully" and does line up with the ocean. On the other hand if their East of Mt. Weather going east would put them 120 miles away from the ocean, but that's not a 120 mile walk because there is a rather large area of water that is part of the ocean but not 120 miles away that's in their way to getting all the way to 120 mile away coast. The answer to this is that they'd be going so rather than east... So i wonder if the writers actually know the layout or just making it up. I don't think they do. I don't know for sure but the bridge they cross doesn't seem like something that would be in that area so that along with the 120 mile away thing it makes we wonder. And I bet it is similar with the timeline. I bet they don't know an exact date either.
