Winter is one of the four seasons of temperate zones. It is the season with the shortest days and the lowest temperatures. In areas farther from the equator, winter is often marked by snow.

Depending on place and culture, what is considered to be the start and end of winter vary. Contemporary meteorology takes winter to be the months of December, January, and February in the Northern Hemisphere and June, July, and August in the Southern Hemisphere. However, many cultures in Europe and East Asia consider winter to begin in November.

In many parts of the world, winter is associated with snow and ice.
