Winter is hiems in Latin; Gaeaf in Welsh. Geimhreadh in Old Irish; Wintar in Anglo-Saxon. The Anglo-Saxons counted years by winters, so a child might be said to be 4 winters old.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Winter, meteorologically speaking, is described in the Northern Hemisphere as being December, January, and February, which is, of course, a convention rather than a fact. There  is nothing about December 1st that makes it more &#8216;wintery&#8217; than November 30th or December 2nd. Astronomically, winter starts with the <a href=\"https:\/\/chr.org.uk\/anddidthosefeet\/december-21-reflections-on-the-solstice\/\">Winter Solstice <\/a>when the sun is at its lowest and so stretches from around December 21st to the Equinox around March 21st.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Logically, the solstice, when the Sun is at its weakest, should be the coldest day, and a midpoint of winter rather than the beginning of it.  With 6 weeks of winter on either side of it. This is roughly what the Celtic year does, winter starts at dusk on 31st October (<a href=\"https:\/\/chr.org.uk\/anddidthosefeet\/31st-october-2021-halloween\/\">Halloween\/Samhain<\/a>) and continues to the evening of 31st January (<a href=\"https:\/\/chr.org.uk\/anddidthosefeet\/february-2nd-candlemass\/\">Candlemas\/Imbolc<\/a>). So a Celtic Winter is November, December, and January.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As far as the Sun goes, this is logically correct. In fact, because of the presence of the oceans (and to a lesser extent) the earth, the coldest time is not the Solstice when the Sun is at its weakest. But a few weeks later in January.  Heat is retained by oceans (and the landmass), and so the coldest (and the warmest) periods are offset. Therefore, January 13th is probably the coldest day, not December 21st.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"320\" height=\"424\" src=\"https:\/\/www.chr.org.uk\/anddidthosefeet\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/liturgial-calendar-for-december.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-2208\" srcset=\"https:\/\/chr.org.uk\/anddidthosefeet\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/liturgial-calendar-for-december.jpg 320w, https:\/\/chr.org.uk\/anddidthosefeet\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/liturgial-calendar-for-december-226x300.jpg 226w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 320px) 100vw, 320px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Medieval Liturgical Calendar for December.

The house smart meter also identifies the week of November 4th being the day when the heating bill goes through the roof. However, this was not true this year, where in the London area we had a warm spell.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A final thought about Winter. Isn&#8217;t it strange that a small change in the axis of the planet should create such opposites? Cold and little growth, then hot and an explosion of flowers. Opposites just with a little tilt of the Globe towards the Sun. This, in the vastness of space, with unimaginably cold and unbelievable hot places and spaces. These make tiny the little difference between Summer and Winter seem insignificant. And yet to us, they are opposites and central facts to our existence as a species. In places, temperature &#8216;extremes&#8217; make it hard to survive in. Some think this is because God made the Universe just for us. But, just think, we are completely adapted to our lives on our very own, blue planet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>A Roman View of Winter<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Ovid, the great Roman poet wrote this poem on his exile from Rome to Tomis, on the Black Sea in what is now Romania.  We don&#8217;t know why he was exiled, but he felt it bitterly. And winter is used to effect to show his pain.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Winter in Tomis<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Harsh lands lie before him<br>As he struggles to keep his wit<br>Malicious thoughts infecting-<br>Crippling the morale of his spirit<br>Shattered visions of the fallen begin to transpire..<br>An awful nostalgia consumes him.<br>A crooked smile forms..exalting the dead<br><br>So began the fall of a mastermind.<br><br>Realizing as his mind falls to pieces<br>They are but catalysts &#8211; parts of a puzzle to a different plan<br>As the images surfaced, his virtue descends<br>Living amongst those barbarians<br>Though a fierce complication<br>Their tact was that of a wounded creature<br>And they were overrun<br><br>&#8220;I remain in exile<br>My bones grow weak like the sun<br>Descending into the trees<br>To end this daily affliction<br>As winter shows its pallid face<br>And the earth veiled with marbled frost<br>Forsaken &#8211; &nbsp;this gradual madness consumes my mind<br>Perdition in Tomis<br><br>Undead armies of Tomis<br>Commanded only by the presence of my absense<br>Brought to life by the death of myself<br>Risen to ease this torment<br>Sacrilege; The second chance to formulate a reason<br>The relapse crucifixion forthwith to go into effect<br>Casting him away; instead insuring their demise.<br><br>I remain in exile<br>My bones grow weak like the sun<br>Descending into the trees<br>To end this daily affliction<br>As winter shows its pallid face<br>And the earth veiled with marbled frost<br>Forsaken &#8211; &nbsp;this gradual madness consumes my mind<br>Perdition in Tomis<br><br>Each day passing now I beg for some remorse<br>Desperately grasping at what I feel to be my last bit of life<br>But unlike the cycle of the attic<br>I feel as though there is no recourse<br>I&#8217;ve withered to nothing.&#8221;<br><br>&#8220;Save me from drowning, and death will be a blessing.&#8221;<br>Hope for his designed tomb<br>&#8220;Rescue my weary spirit from annihilation<br>If one already lost may be un-lost&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Ovid abandoned writing his almanac poem because of his exile, so it never got beyond the Summer.
