Response Jaden's Comment:

If she is the original winter maiden, then maybe she actually did died so there have been more winters but through some sorta mysterious Grimmy magic stuff she was brought back to life, and given new powers.

Also I'd like to point out that other the origin story of the maidens that we've been told was the Fairy Tale version (which I'm assuming is how it's told to the people in Remnant), which is a story that was passed down through thousands of years, to the point of people think it's just a work of fiction, and anyone who's ever played telephone knows how a simple message can be messed up after being passed small group of people, let alone a more then a thousand year old tale. For all we know, the wizard could of had a completely different reason for giving his powers away, like maybe he wanted the maidens to fight the Grimm or another threat that might now be around anymore.
