Winter officially began yesterday, Sunday, December 21, 2014, at 6:03PM. It was the shortest day of the year.
Even though daylight slowly increases after the solstice, many places don’t see their coldest days until mid-January. This happens because the Northern Hemisphere continues to lose more heat than it gains for several more weeks.
It's been a little colder than what I was expecting. I'm hoping this does not mean January and February are going to be horribly cold this season.
