@ponderable saidThen again, snow has always been more common in february than in december.
Well snow is white (beware of the yellow kind!) And the romantic idea of white Christmas is a) quite recent and b) concentrated on a relatively small area of the world.
My ancestors would probably have been happy if there had been no Frost on Christmas.
By the way, it's winter today, and also the first day of frost over here.

@trev33 saidThere are of course different definitions:
All of December is winter. No way part of March is winter while part of December is autumn.
meterological definition: 1st of December to last of February
astronomical definiton: winter solistice to spring equinox (21st of december to 22nd of March) (Northern Hemisphere)
There are also botanical definitions which are much mor local

Already seems like we've had a lot of winter unofficially!
