Despite the fact that the author acknowledges that the solstice begins on different days, he has overlooked the fact winter the solstice for 2015 is TODAY (22nd), not the 21st.<p>So, the title is correct. ;-)<p>On a non-pedantic note, I agree that the seasons break emotionally well before their astronomical date. Winter beings with snowfall in November, Summer begins with the warm weather and long days in June (unless if you&#x27;re living in Vancouver, in which case its still raining). And as widely as people seem to agree on this, at least in Canada, its easy to get corrected if it is &quot;not actually [season],&quot; yet.
