Average number of days for winter?

[Enola Gay]

The only successful game I had was where winter lasted for 30+ days so I am kind of curious now what the average is, as in my 2nd attempt winter lasted for 4 days.

To survive that I ended up murdering everyone else and looting their homes of everything that could be burned.

If you play the story mode, winter length is not fixed. It can be short/long, weak/strong, early/late.
If you play "my own story" you can set the winter length.
For beginner, I advice you play the "my own story" first, set the winter to weak and late.
Get use to the game first before you play the story mode.

That's mean your planning is not good. You just need to bring an axe and chop down some wood, no need to kill anyone. And you should prepare enough wood before the winter comes. (listen to the radio or watch the temperature change)

I had enough wood for 8-10 days I wasn't expecting a 30 day winter. I made this thread because this time I stockpiled wood and supplies and the winter lasted for 4 days, so I am a bit miffed

Winter can last up to 10+ days. Also, wood price will went up during winte (with snow outside),
if you have extra wood you can trade it for a better offering and you should trade it first before the winter ends.
