The first winter in Utah (1847-48) was actually relatively mild. Also, only the advance party of perhaps 100 men spent the first winter in Utah, having left their families in "Winter Quarters" in Nebraska. Because there were few men and the weather was mild, it wasn't too difficult to provide food and shelter for them. However, that first winter was misleading - the next winter, when several thousand Mormons had arrived, was extremely cold and snowy. They were unprepared for the extreme conditions and many became very sick or even died.

Technically the "Mormons," or followers of Joseph Smith, made their first trek in January-February 1831 from upstate New York to Kirtland, Ohio.

Who brought the first Mormons to the us?
Nobody. The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (the "Mormon" church) was founded in the US - so the first Mormons were already in the US! :) If you are speaking of the first Mormons to move from another country to the US, rather than the first Mormons ever in the US, the answer is still nobody. The first Mormons to move from another country to the US came from Canada, and were not 'brought' by any specific person, only encouraged to move so that they could be nearer to the main body of the church.
Why did the Mormons leave their first community?
The first real community of members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (commonly called the "Mormon" church) was founded in Kirtland, Ohio beginning in 1831. The Church was formally organized in upstate New York, but shortly afterward a large number of converts from the Kirtland area prompted the small church to move there. Kirtland was at first welcoming but as more and more Mormons arrived, locals became disgruntled and many Mormons faced persecution as locals felt that Mormons were taking over. During this time, groups of Mormons were sent from Ohio to Missouri in order to establish "Zion", but persecution in Missouri was even worse, so the entire church (some from Ohio and some from Missouri) began the move to Illinois in search of religious freedom.

What season are long days and short nights?
The shortest day of the year is the first day of Winter, but the days start to get longer through the first day of Spring - when days and nights are equal - until the first day of Summer, which is the longest day and shortest night. From there, the days start to shorten through the first day of Autumn (or Fall) when the days and nights are again equal. The days continue to shorten until the first day of Winter when the cycle repeats itself. So, the seasons that have days that are shorter than nights will be Autumn and Winter. Typically, its the winter season.
