Winter is the coldest of the four seasons, known for its chilly temperatures, shorter days, and a landscape often transformed by snow and ice. It typically begins in December in the Northern Hemisphere and lasts until March, bringing a unique set of activities and traditions.
Winter is a season of holidays, including Christmas and New Year's, and is associated with cozy gatherings by the fireplace, snow sports like skiing and snowboarding, and the beauty of snow-covered landscapes. It's a time when people often exchange warm clothing for sweaters, scarves, and coats, and when many animals go into hibernation.
Winter's arrival is marked by the winter solstice, the shortest day and longest night of the year, after which days gradually start to lengthen as we move toward spring.
