The planet on which the story takes places has periods of long, mild years, with virtually no cold seasons except in the far North, but periodically long crippling winters occur. The House Stark and their vassals live in the North, and their motto is "Winter is Coming."
It's like a medieval version of the Boy Scout motto.
Oh...Game of Thrones. I don’t get HBO but I know about it.

Isn’t it interesting that both Tolkien and martin have “R.R.” in the middle of their names?
Just Sayin’.
It makes me nostalgic for America’s OWN “R.R.” (sigh)
