Is it true that the Olympics and Paralympic summer and winter games are held in the same year?

The 2010 Winter Olympics were held February 12 through February 28 in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada.
The Winter Olympics occur every four years. The next Winter Games are being held in the year 2014 in Russia. And of course, it is during winter :)
Until 1992, the summer and winter Olympics were held in the same year, but the decision was made to move the winter Olympics off to the other even-numbered years, beginning with the 1994 Winter Olympics in Lillehammer, Norway. That way, if you refer to, for example, "the 2014 Olympics," there is no need to specify "winter."
