Northern hemisphere

 

first day of winter / winter solstice        UK / USA

 

the time at which the sun

is at its southernmost point in the sky

 

-The winter solstice

is usually on 21 December –

but occasionally

it falls on 22 December

On the day of a solstice,

the Earth is at its maximum tilt, 23.5 degrees,

either toward or away from the sun.

 

A winter solstice

happens in the Northern Hemisphere

when the hemisphere is tilting away from the sun,

making it the day with the least amount of sunlight.

 

The sun is above the Tropic of Capricorn

in the Southern Hemisphere

and runs through Australia, Chile, southern Brazil

and northern South Africa,

according to the National Weather Service.

Boston Globe > Big Picture > Winter weather        USA

February 25, 2013

 

Here in the northern hemisphere

spring is but a rumor.

 

Record snowfalls have taxed budgets and patience,

and slowed transit from planes to pedestrians.

 

Not that some aren't enjoying the abundance,

as winter sports play out

on beautiful frozen blankets of snow.

 

Gathered here are images of people struggling with

and enjoying their wintery blasts.
