well said Jack , im 41 and I didnt know that.

here's my question for the day

when is midwinter ?

To which the answer is: whenever you like, as there is no "official"
definition. However the Met Office takes December, January and February
as comprising winter. It's obviously convenient for statistics to refer
to complete months, and those three are the coldest. On that basis,
midwinter would be mid-January.
