Meteorological Spring. Say that five times fast.
Go ahead. I’ll wait.
Now, name the four seasons. (not the Vivaldi classic)
No. It’s not a trick. Some people start at the season we are currently in. What season did you start with?
If we divide the year into the four seasons we get the Meteorological seasons, not the ones determined by the position of the sun. This means winter starts on December 1. Why not just start at the beginning of the calendar? Because in the northern climates, December is . . . well, cold.
If we go by the position of the sun, winter starts on December 19 (or 20, or 21). I don’t consider December 1- 19 Autumn because December is . . . well, cold.
But I will take spring starting now because winter is . . . well, cold. But, I guess that makes spring . . . well, cold.
