Consider the phrase: _The Winters of Quebec are cold._

I understand that the correct form is

```

    ケベックは冬が寒いです。
    
```

Since a possessive form is involved here (the Winters **of** Quebec), why is

```

    ケベックの冬は寒いです。
    
```

not correct?

question
grammar particles particle-は particle-の particle-が
[Noun 1]は[Noun 2]が[Adjective] or [Noun 1]の[Noun 2]は[Adjective]
Both sentences are fine. They only have slightly different meaning, and you
would use one or the other depending on context, for example:

Ex.1: "Where do you live?" "I live in Quebec" "Winters are cold in Quebec,
aren't they?"

(ケベックは冬が寒いですね - "As for Quebec, winters are cold" - The topic is Quebec,
something that have came up in the conversation, and the speaker elaborates on
that topic suggesting that it has cold winters)

Ex.2: "It's winter now in Quebec" "Winters are cold in Quebec, aren't they?"

(ケベックの冬は寒いですね - "As for Winters of Quebec, they're cold" - The topic is
"winters of Quebec", which have just came up in the conversation, and the
speaker elaborates on that topic suggesting they're cold)
