Elemental associations of seasons?

Do the seasons(spring, summer, autumn, winter) have established associations with classical elements, or do I have to make up my own? I ask because I'm designing four faerie courts for a new setting and knowing if there are existing connections to draw on would help me get started on distinguishing them from each other.

Depends what elements you're talking about.

If you just want any elements they're associated with, you can't go wrong with (starting with Winter, going to Autumn) 'Ice/Water - Plant/Earth - Fire - Wind'

Classical western elements. Fire, air, earth, water.

They do traditionally have elements associated with them, but they do change regionally at times. For instance Winter/Water, Spring/Wind, Summer/Fire and Fall/Earth.

Each of the classical elements has an associated humour, and each of those has an associated element. Using that model, air goes with spring, fire with summer, earth with autumn and water with winter.
