Body: <p>I want to check if it's winter. What is the best way to write a "between dates" conditional?</p>
  
  <pre><code>{% set saison = now|date('m-d') %}
  {% if saison (saison &gt;= '11-22' and saison &lt;= '03-21') %}
    Jep it's winter
  {% endif %}
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>This absolutely does not work.
  I also tried somthing like:</p>
  
  <pre><code>{% set saison = now|date('m-d') %}
  {% if saison &gt; '03-21' %}
    Now it's Spring
  {% elseif saison &gt; '06-21' %}
    Now it's Summer
  {% elseif saison &gt; '09-23' %}
    Now it's Fall
  {% elseif saison &gt; '12-22' %}
    Now it's Winter
  {% endif %}
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>That doesn't work. I guess because twig doesn't recognize the strings as dates?
  How do I have to write this?</p>

Title: If date is between conditional

  (Asked by: username_0 on 2016-01-12)
  
  I want to check if it's winter. What is the best way to write a "between dates" conditional?
  
  ```
  {% set saison = now|date('m-d') %}
  {% if saison (saison >= '11-22' and saison <= '03-21') %}
    Jep it's winter
  {% endif %}
  
  ```
  
  This absolutely does not work.
  I also tried somthing like:
  
  ```
  {% set saison = now|date('m-d') %}
  {% if saison > '03-21' %}
    Now it's Spring
  {% elseif saison > '06-21' %}
    Now it's Summer
  {% elseif saison > '09-23' %}
    Now it's Fall
  {% elseif saison > '12-22' %}
    Now it's Winter
  {% endif %}
  
  ```
  
  That doesn't work. I guess because twig doesn't recognize the strings as dates?
  How do I have to write this?

  This conditional should work:
  
  ```
  {# Saison Trigger #}
  {% set saison = now|date('m-d') %}
  
  {# Check for each Season #}
  {% if saison > '11-22' or saison <= '03-21' %}
      {% set currentSaison = 'winter' %}
  {% elseif saison > '03-21' and saison <= '06-21' %}
      {% set currentSaison = 'fruehling' %}
  {% elseif saison > '06-21' and saison <= '09-22' %}
      {% set currentSaison = 'sommer' %}
  {% elseif saison > '09-22' and saison <= '11-22' %}
      {% set currentSaison = 'herbst' %}
  {% endif %}
