Shakespeare conveys the seasons as cold, leaves are falling off trees, and it is windy.

The time is signifigant because it is the time of change and he is saying that no matter what changes he will always love her. Without the seasons and time changing the sonnet would seem duller than it already is. Comparing your love to season and time is very important because love can only survive if you will love someone eternally.
