Wiki tells me that astronomical Winter is from the December solstice to the Spring equinox. I don't understand why this is the "winter" that winds up on calendars.
Early in life, I assumed that the seasons were arranged:
Spring: 1 Mar - 31 May Summer: 1 Jun - 31 Aug Fall: 1 Sept - 31 Nov Winter: 1 Dec - 28 Feb
I still think that makes more meteorological sense for where I live than the astronomical dates.
