Winter is forever!

[ZurkQyulox]

Basically it's been 10 days of winter in my game, and i've set it to long summer. It is starting to get really annoying could someone tell me when winter is going to end?

I think winter lasts until you kill a deerclops, though I might be wrong.

It lasts for 15 days.

Just be patient.

It lasts 10 days with the long summer option. At least that's how long it usually lasts for me.

Ok, but i've built a winterometer and it still doesn't go up

I'll give you a penny if you wait and see before posting again.

Now it's summer, apparently a winterometer is stupid as f*ck

I think if you just waited one more day you wouldn't have made this post at all. Because summer would have arrived.

Winterometer gives you a reading of ambient temp. Like real seasons, sometimes it's cool in the summer and fairly warm in the winter, especially on the transition days.

Yea, imo, the best way to see if winter is coming in a day or two is just pay attention to how long days and nights are, nearing winter, days start getting really short and nights get really long

There is a day, I think 2 days on summer that makes Winter O' Meter show below half temp reading. That's the sign of Winter is coming.

It'd be cool if you could heat Winter-O-Meters and make them spike up in readings.

For what purpose? The winter-o-meter only tells you what the current temperature is, it doesn't control it.

You can. Put a fire next to it and the winterometer gives a higher reading.

Oh, didn't know it actually measured the temperature around its immediate vicinity. That's pretty cool.

It's just a thermometer (and the Rainometer is a Barometer.) Why I stopped relying on it (and paid attention to the elapsed days as a guide) a long time back,.
