The season has shed its mantle of wind and chill and rain.

Le temps a laissé son manteau
De vent, de froidure et de pluie.

Another quote about Seasons

Shall I compare thee to a summer's day?
Thou art more lovely and more temperate.
Rough winds do shake the darling buds of May,
And summer's lease hath all too short a date.
