Various definitions of the 1st morning of winter season

The 1st morning of winter can mean various days to different individuals. The season can begin on either “Meteorological winter season,” or “astronomical winter”. But for a lot of people, the first morning of winter season occurs with a snow shovel and a harrowing commute.

1st day of winter season 2010

The first morning of winter season 2010 is December 1 from a meteorological standpoint. December 21st, 2010 is shown on the calendar to be the first day of astronomical winter or the winter solstice. Winter did not wait for any human explanations this year. December 1 was surely not the start of winter this year. In fact, snowstorms had already been hitting for a couple of weeks. This year, the weather has been influenced a lot. La Nina was what made these changes. What La Nina does is drop ocean temperature. The equatorial Pacific is where this drop in temperature happens. La Nina changes the weather. In fact, the northern United States of America ends up with much worse winter conditions.

The meteorological winter season started when the northern hemisphere got into its coldest temperatures on average. December 1 was when this happened. From November through January the coldest climate is there as it is when the shortest days are. January is usually when the coldest temperatures of meteorological winter happen. This is since the snow pack keeps the atmosphere colder. Dec. 21 is when the astronomical winter season could be starting up. That is since the northern hemisphere can be having its shortest period of daylight. Days commence to get longer after the solstice. There will not be many more meteorological winter days left. But astronomical winter season continues until the vernal equinox, which will be March 21 in 2011.

The 2010-11 winter season climate

In real life, the first day of winter season comes too early and the first morning of spring comes too late for those living in the climates most affected by climate and short daylight. Winter 2010-11 will hit hardest within the Northwest, Great Plains, Good Lakes and New England, according to accuweather.com. Above normal snow and ice is within the forecast for these regions. Many want relief from this. Hopefully it happens by going south. There’s a "non-winter" forecasted some places. From CA to the Southeast are these areas.
