"During" seasons

Danielle A.C1Kwiziq Q&A regular contributor

Can "en hiver" also be translated as "during the winter"/"in wintertime" or would I have to say "pendant l'hiver" or something else? The translation "in winter" doesn't seem like common phrasing it seems almost like the beginning of a scientific statement and I'm bound to over-translate it.

This question relates to:French lesson "En/l'/au with seasons (French Articles and Prepositions)"
