- You may post comics from others or your own.
- If you are posting a comic of your own, a maximum of one per week is allowed (I know, your comics are great, but this rule helps avoid spam).
- The comic can be in any language, but if it's not in English, OP must include an English translation in the post's 'body' field (note: you don't need to select a specific language when posting a comic).

Does January 1st coincide with the ending of winter anywhere?
Ending? Winter just started 10 days ago.

Kind of my point
Ah, well, they moved it ten days away, very hidden and sneaky. Those dastardly fiends.
I hate this idea of winter starting on solstice because I hate winter. I love solstice because it means the horrible darkness is getting better. But I feel like December, January, February is a better representation of winter than January, February, March. March is so much nicer than December.
I've taken to mentally breaking the seasons in half. The winter solstice to halfway before the equinox is cold and dark, but getting brighter. The previous 8th is the hardest time. It's getting darker and colder but snow is sparce. The 8th before the vernal equinox is the final stretch before spring is getting going.
I said "passing", not "end". The end of the year is roughly aligned with mid-winter, a.k.a. the winter solstice, the point at which light and life begin their return.
