But still cyclical seasons that match up with winter and summer. The Poles never get really warm, either, but they have seasons, 'day' and 'night', which match up. (They do get somewhat warmer in the day season, of course.) It's still the same seasonal cycles, taking different shapes in different places.

Uh, the equator is about as far from "winter" as you can get. It's the opposite of the poles. Since I can't see Mother Summer setting up shop at one of the poles, I doubt Mother Winter would do the equivalent.
The 45th parallel in the North would be the midpoint between Summer and Winter, in that those locations would be more likely to experience both seasons equally. It's been established in the books that the "seasons" are oriented towards the Northern hemisphere, likely due to the greater population.

Yeah I don't know why i didn't think of that. I did not get much sleep last night is my only excuse lol. I agree with your idea of the 45th parallel.
Just me or does that look like it could be close to Demon Reach?

If you're looking for a particular spot on the 45th, two of the more significant locations are the 45x90, marking the halfway points between the prime and 180 meridians. One's in a field in Wisconsin, while the other is on an unpopulated mountain range in China.
