Description
In the Northern Hemisphere, some authorities define the period of winter based on astronomical fixed points (i.e. based solely on the position of the Earth in its orbit around the sun), regardless of weather conditions. In one version of this definition, winter begins at the winter solstice and ends at the vernal equinox.[5] These dates are somewhat later than those used to define the beginning and end of the meteorological winter � usually considered to span the entirety of December, January, and February in the Northern Hemisphere and June, July, and August in the Southern.[6]
Astronomically, the winter solstice, being the day of the year which has fewest hours of daylight, ought to be the middle of the season,[7][8] but seasonal lag means that the coldest period normally follows the solstice by a few weeks. In the USA and Canada (and sometimes in Britain) the season is regarded as beginning at the solstice and ending on the following equinox[9][10] � in the Northern Hemisphere, depending on the year, this corresponds to the period between 21 or 22 December and 19, 20 or 21 March. In the UK, meteorologists consider winter to be the three coldest months of December, January and February.

Now that's frosty! We don't get that where I live. We get some snow once in a while, but it never lasts. Beautiful.
