game of thrones - When were the seasons first extended in A Song of Ice and Fire?


I had originally thought that the seasons were extended due to The Doom, which was 400 - 500 years ago. However, with The Long Night lasting a generation and being 8000 years ago, and the source of the season shift being "magic" (as explained in a related question), has there ever been a time that the seasons were normal? Is there any reference in the books to three month seasons?
