I know this keeps cropping up, but, meteorologically, is March in
Winter or in Spring?


This year, it's definately in winter!

I think we should all stick to 21st Dec to 21st March. The reason is this
that half the population tend to not know there is a difference between
what
is traditionally thought of as winter, and what is really winter. It gets
to
the point that children grow up thinking that as soon as it gets above a
certain temperature then it's officially spring. They should be told what
exactly is winter, spring, etc
A few months ago I was shocked to be having a conversation with a grown
adult who thought summer covers 1st July to 31st August, Autumn is the
month
of September, Winter starts 1st October and lasts until end of March, and
spring takes us up to 30th June.
I asked how Autumn could possibly be only one month and winter 6 months. I
was told I must be stupid to think that a month as cold as November
couldn't
be in winter and to go and get an education.

A few years ago we were lucky enought to travel to Alaska. The guide in
Denali National Park told us there were four seasons in Alaska - June, July,
August and winter!
