I probably ought to, but I haven't thought much about alien seasons.
Jarrda has the usual four seasons: shel (winter), shtar (spring), juzh
(summer), zhan (fall). Although around here a more accurate translation
would be non-summer, early summer, summer, and late summer. I can't even
imagine what the weather would be like on a planet orbiting Procyon, or
even if a stable orbit is possible with Procyon B nearby.
