How do you describe the winter of a certain year?
If you're writing a story, and you want to say an event took place in the winter of such and such a year, what year do you specify?
For any other season you can say, for example, the spring of 2006 or the fall of 2007, but since winter occurs during two consecutive years, would you include both years (the winter of 2006-2007), or one of the two (which one)?

It would be best to say the winter of the year it began (the winter of 2016 began in November or December). This is because it is assumed that the year will change and no one would challenge it. You also have to be mindful of where you are on the earth. For instance, in Australia, winters are opposite from the northern hemisphere.

If you're writing about the southern hemisphere there's no problem.
