      I will now try to hear Ned Stark saying "THE winter is coming" in my head so I don't make the same mistake again :)

            Why vintern, not vinter?

              Seasons in Swedish usually take the definite article, unlike in English.

              Våren är här = Spring is here
              Jag älskar sommaren = I love summer

                So when would one use "vinter" or "sommar" if the definitive form is usually used?

                'Det är sommar' comes to mind – 'It is summer'.

                  In a list of seasons for example. For others a native speaker may need to comment.

                          "Vintern närmar sig" är översättningen av "winter is coming" från boken Kampen Om Järntronen (översättning av A Game of Thrones).

                              Why not : "Vintern är på väg."

                                because that's not what we learned? I think Google Translate is playing tricks on you; I just submitted "Vintern kommer" as the proper translation.
