Winter does not start until 21 Dec, in the Northern Hemisphere.


For meteorological purposes, the months of December, January and
February are conventionally taken as winter. There seems no good reason
from a weather point of view why the season should start at the Winter
Solstice, since the first three weeks of December are on average a fair
bit colder than the first three weeks of March.
