The solstice is "midwinter" just like the summer solstice is "midsummer." But that's from the days when there were only two seasons - summer ran from Beltane to Samhain, and winter was from Samhain to Beltane. If you're going by modern seasons, I'd say winter is December, January and February. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=1921#post-19969 Tue, 21 Dec 2010 11:53:57 +0000 kaputnik 19969@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>@chdot - I think Sir Winston said it best;</p> <p>"<em>Now this is not the end.

Leaving in the dark and coming home in the dark means no free ranging during the week for them. And I'm fed up of having to de-freeze their drinking water every morning. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=1921#post-19961 Tue, 21 Dec 2010 11:39:00 +0000 chdot 19961@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Today is 'officially' the first day of winter. </p> <p>Tomorrow the days start getting longer. </p>
