Yea, I&#x27;ve been thinking about that too. A few weeks ago my 3 year old saw it snowing out and said, &quot;Mom and Dad, it&#x27;s winter!&quot; A visitor we had over said something to the effect of, &quot;well, actually it&#x27;s not winter YET, that&#x27;s not till later in the month.&quot; The 3 year old was very confused, as he could clearly see it was winter by the snow outside. I much prefer the 3 year old&#x27;s simple method for knowing when winter was here.
