Why don't we stop saying Mashiv Haruach 2 weeks before Pesach for the same

I changed the title to reflect the question properly.  RSZA  was asked this

69):  The people returning on Succos had their summer clothes on, and the
people coming for Pesach had their winter clothes handy at home if needed.
