Meteorological winter
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
There is a distinction between astronomical winter and meteorological winter. According to NOAA:
Meteorological winter is different, as the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration noted in a Dec. 22, 2003 press release: "What many people don't know is that there is another kind of winter called meteorological winter" said Steve Kuhl, warning coordination meteorologist with the NOAA National Weather Service in Washington, D.C.
For weather watchers, meteorological winter is the three month period of December, January, and February. In northern locations, meteorological winter begins long before the winter solstice, the NOAA press release says.
