Today is the mid-point of winter.
Whether you dislike winter, feel more or less indifferent, or love it, you can consider today the mid-point of the season. The figures above come from an Excel spreadsheet and are based on whole days. The usual markers of the seasons are solar positions and they do not accord exactly with our calendar and our system of minutes and seconds.
So, what does this mean? From now on, winter is diminishing. Spring is approaching. I saw a nature video where owl babies were born in February enclosed in down flight suits of feathers. Maybe the parents strive for births in time for available early spring prey.
Whatever, from now on, you have gone through more winter than there is to go.
