How is met winter anymore man made than astronomical winter? One we define as the 3 coldest months and the other is the solstice to the equinox. I think both have valid purposes.
We’re far enough north that we’re wintry for 4 months and potentially 5 with a good run from mid Novie until mid Apr.
No one here truly thinks that March is not a winter month. The hormones may start changing for some with the increased sun angle and the wishcasting may start trending toward the warm side, but we all know it’s primarily a winter month outside of a few years here and there.
