  We critically examine the often-made observation that "quantum winter [or
some other winter] is coming", and the related admonition to prepare for this
or that winter, inevitably bound to arrive. What we find based on even the most
superficial look at the available evidence is that such statements not only are
overblown hype, but are also factually wrong: Winter is here, and the real
question is rather for how long it/they will stay.
