Winter

[[image:winterinottawa.JPG|thumb|250px|In many parts of the world, winter is associated with snow.]] :''This article is about the winter season. For other uses of the term, see winter (disambiguation).'' Winter is one of the four seasons of temperate zones. Astronomy, it begins with the winter solstice (around December 21 in the Northern hemisphere and June 21 in the Southern hemisphere), and ends with the spring equinox (around March 21 in the Northern hemisphere and September 23 in the Southern hemisphere). In meteorology it is by convention counted instead as the whole months of June, July and August in the Southern hemisphere and December, January and February in the Northern hemisphere. Some cultures and regions, such as Irish Calendar and Australia, also define Winter this way. See List of winter festivals. == See also == * Season * Summer * Autumn * Spring (season)

Winter

I have removed a "see also" link to axial tilt and supplanted it with one to the more comprehensive article on seasons. -User:Smack 19:05, 7 Dec 2003 (UTC) == wado kai karate do == wado kai karate do Apparently the Met Office was asked by another government department for an official definition of winter, expecting actual dates. The answer "Winter begins when all the leaves have fallen off the trees and ends when the bulbs start growing again." (Transfer to Wikijokes if desired.)
