=== Comics ===
=== Live-Action TV ===
⚫
* Averted in the various versions of ''[[Law & Order]]'', where, due to filming in New York City and the production's shooting schedule, it seems to be mostly winter.
⚫
* Averted by... well, probably most newspaper comics, and they have plenty of good reasons to. Most cartoonists don't live in California, and most of their comics take place in the present day in the creator's own country. They also have plenty of time to waste on strictly winter-related strips and storylines, being not confined to the 22-episode limit that most TV shows have, and most strips are guaranteed to only run once, during the appropriate season (reruns take up a maximum of four weeks a year and can be culled from any point in the series' run).
⚫
** ''[[Calvin and Hobbes]]'' in particular had some epic winter strips over the years, including his famous <s>demented snowmen</s> deranged mutant killer monster snow goons.

** Look at the clothes worn by people in the background, fall episodes are filmed in summer. Spring episodes are shot in winter. The amount of sunlight is also a giveaway.

* Averted on ''[[ER]]'', which gives the impression that Chicago never has spring. Most of the time it's either snowing or raining, unless it's sweltering hot because they wanted an air-conditioning failure episode.

** Longtime residents of the Chicago area know that this is Truth in Television - Spring here lasts about 45 minutes after the last snow melts. Then we skip straight ahead to high-80s temperatures and high-90s humidity.
