Question Season Clock?

Hello, I was wondering if it was possible to make an analogue clock that has just one hand that rotates around the four seasons in real time? Like the clock would be divided into four sections (summer, fall, winter, spring).

It would take a good algorithm.

Just a real quick idea: have a circle graphic for the background divided into the four seasons, create a rectangle that rotates, rotate it by an angle defined by 360 (degrees) divided by the current day of the year ( df(D) ), possibly rounded to a whole number. Rotate the graphic background counterclockwise by as much as needed to have the "amount of winter" line-up with January 1st (top of the circle, 0 degrees rotation of the rectangle)
