good question! not usually, unless they are part of title (e.g. Winter Olympics) or used poetically as entities (Spring's sweet breath)...however, they may be. there is nothing wrong with capitalizing them, in fact, it used to be common to capitalize all nouns in English, particularly ones such as seasons, Sun, Moon, Saturn, Rain, Snow, etc. In old stories, children's books, poetry, and elsewhere you will find nouns capitalized in non-modern ways, and it is not wrong. that said, typically they aren't these days except in proper nouns as above.
