Meteorological winter starts today! Why? Because it's science!

It's December 1st. Do you know when YOUR winter starts?

@ScottSutherlandScienceWriter There's absolutely ZERO science behind this recent trend of 'meteorological' seasons starting on the first of December, March, June, and September. As far as I can see it is sheer laziness by meteorologists so that their seasonal statistics can be compiled more easily from monthly data. If there was science involved, we'd use the equinoxes and solstices. I will die on this hill. #seasons #meteorology #meteorologist #winter #solstice #equinox
