Summary0010762: "fortressintro" message always says Spring, even though it's no longer guaranteed
Description<blockquote>
You have arrived. After a journey from the Mountainhomes into the
forbidding wilderness beyond, your harsh trek has finally
ended. Your party of seven is to make an
outpost for the glory of all of [civilization].

There are almost no supplies left, but with stout labor
comes sustenance. Whether by bolt, plow or hook, provide
for your dwarves. You are expecting a supply caravan just before
winter entombs you, but it is Spring now.
Enough time to delve secure lodgings, ere the [predators] get hungry.
A new chapter of dwarven history begins here at this place, [fortress name],
"[translated name]". Strike the earth!
</blockquote>

Ever since Dwarf Fortress was first released, the "Fortress Intro" announcement has assumed that you always embark during Spring. Since version 0.40.01, however, this is no longer the case - your very first embark within a given world will certainly be in Spring, but your next one could easily be in Summer, Autumn, or even Winter.
Steps To Reproduce1. Generate a new world
2. Advance time by several months
3. Create a new Fortress in the world
4. Observe that the intro text says it's Spring, even though it isn't

On a side note, this bug tracker apparently doesn't recognize the "<blockquote>" HTML tag (and it conveniently lacks a Preview option which I could've otherwise used to figure that out in advance).
