Here's hoping you all have plenty of cozy moments as we ride towards December 1 and the beginning of meteorological winter in the northern hemisphere. Unlike astronomical winter, which starts on Winter Solstice (December 21 this year), meteorological winter runs from December 1 to the end of Feburary, the coldest three month period of the year in the northern hemisphere.
