I do not have a exact answer for you, but I can explain how the weather and seasons works in P3D and FSX and hope this will help you. The seasons are set by the "seasons.bgl" file located in "P3Dv5 Scenery/BASE/Scenery" folder.  They change on the first of every month.  For example, where I live in Western Canada, On September 1st all the leaves turned to fall colours indicating fall. On October 1st all the trees will lose their leaves but no snow on the ground indicating mild winter.  On November 1, the ground will have snow on the ground indicating Hard Winter. The weather is separate from the seasons. For example, If the weather has snow, the ground will be white no matter what the season or what temperature is. I set up weather for snow with plus 70F temperatures in July and there was snow on the ground and trees. I then turned off the snow and the ground and trees were green. If you want to explore this further, you can use TMFViewer from the P3D SDK to view these files.  As mentioned earlier they are located in the Scenery "P3Dv5 Scenery/BASE/Scenery" folder. You can just drag the "season.bgl" file into the TMFViewer icon and they will open and show a map with season information for the whole world.  You can move the mouse around and it will tell you what season it is. In the "View" menu item, chose "Seasons/Variations" and you can select each month to see how the seasons change.

If you have more questions, let me know.
