Winter

Winter is one of the four seasons, typically characterized by the coldest temperatures of the year. It occurs after autumn and before spring, varying in duration and intensity depending on geographical location. In many regions, winter is marked by phenomena such as snowfall, ice, and shorter daylight hours. The season is associated with various cultural and traditional events, including holidays like Christmas and New Year celebrations. During winter months, many animals enter a state of hibernation, and certain plants become dormant. Winter plays a significant role in ecological cycles and climate patterns, influencing agriculture, weather systems, and ecosystems. The term “winter” also evokes imagery and activities associated with the season, such as skiing, snowboarding, and other winter sports.
