Just as a reminder to those who are responding to justme, that "3-4 season" means different things to different forumites. In this case, he apparently lives in Wyoming, where the season called "summer" includes snow, hail, and frigid lashing winds on any day of the year.
I don't think a hammock could under any stretch be used in a Wyoming winter. You'd need a "5-season" hammock for that!
You haven't seen some of the winter hammock setups, or you would know there are plenty of deep freeze hammockers pulling pulks out with hammock huts, wood stoves, and multiple down top and underquilts to conquer the Great White North. There's a Canadian (nick)named Turk on youtube that excels at Extreme Hammocking. Just takes an appropriate amount of determination and gear....
My 3 season camping also includes some amount of subfreezing temps and weather... I realize that California has a certain reputation for mild weather, but "milder than other locations" does not mean we're all palm trees and sunshine. At 10,000 feet all bets are off. (I've hammocked at 10k, in snow and wind.)
