    It's impossible to tell if that sentence belongs without more context. The two sentences you put forward, of course, have different meanings: one indicates that there are multiple winters coming, whereas the other states that there is just one winter coming.

    Though "winters are coming" does sound slightly weird as seasons are predicable and consistently spaced.

    Poets like Paul Verlaine would use language like that - Les hivers arrivent.

    WHS, very impressive, especially because our new friend is from " la Douce France "

    I am convinced if it is stated in a NEWSpaper, it should " be winter is coming", being it NEWS
