1st day of winter
Yeah right. Elise wants her duvet off the bed and all my windows are open!
What has happened to winter?? My daffs are about to flower and I can walk about the house in a state of undress. Global warming or just good old NZ weather? |

Re: 1st day of winter
It's not the first day of winter. Or of anything else.
All seasons all over the world start on the 21st of something, and end three months later on the 20th of something else. If you are in NZ, winter will start on 21 June. (It's to do with solstices and equinoxes) |

That is what I heard last week but every one on the radio has been saying today that its the 1st day of winter and assumed I had heard it wrong last week. Just goes to show that probably every thing I hear on the radio is bollocks.:eek:
You're right...... total bollocks. |
Re: 1st day of winter

(It's to do with solstices and equinoxes) You could argue until the cows come home (it is Gypsy day after all) but regardless of what any ancient or pagan calendar might say; it is 'officially' the first day of winter here in NZ and Australia today and is marked on local calendars as such. Winter 1st June Spring 1st September Summer 1st December Autumn 1st March |

Depends on which calendar you follow, but 21st/22nd of June is the shortest day and is the Winter Solstice or 'Mid-winter'.

Winter 1st June Spring 1st September Summer 1st December Autumn 1st March ....... but only by druids............ If today is NZ's 'Midwinter Day', doesn't that mean winter started on or about 16 April? I need a lie down. |

The Dean, you & I know that the seasons change on the equinoxes but things are a little bit different down-under. One learns to go with the flow ;). Enjoy your lie down. |
Re: 1st day of winter

However the fluffy cheap mink very warming Briscoes blankets have been out for a while... |
