Yes.  Why is the shortest day of the year the _beginning_ of winter?  It should be the middle.  Winter should start six weeks before the shortest day of the year, and summer, six weeks before the longest.

It doesn't really follow that winter occurs when the planet is furthest from the sun. If the planet's axis is tilted, then the coldest weather occurs when a particular hemisphere on the planet is turned away from the sun. In fact, in modern days Earth is at "Perihelion" (closest approach to the sun) about January 3, which is Winter in the northern hemisphere. It is furthest away (Aphelion) around July 4.\n\nOther planets will be closest and furthest away at various times, based on their orbital characteristics.

As someone who lived in Ottawa for 20 years my answer would be around the end of February.  Usually the last weekend of winterlude ends up being pretty warm and everything melts...due to budget stuff they rarely do upkeep to the canal once winterlude ends.  Hope that helps!

No. The season closed Nov. 17th for the southern district, and Oct. 20th for the northern distrinct, meaning the Adirondacks. If someone's hunting turkery in your neck of the woods, call the NYS DEC. They would like to know. That's what they get paid for.

I would say it depends on what you mean by official. But The first day of a new season is often taken as a solistice, or an equinox. In the northern Hemisphere, that would make the last day of summer roughly September 21th, since September 22st is the fall or autumnal equinox. \n\nThe equinox is that date at which the day and the night are roughly of equal length, and the sun crosses the celestial equator. \n\nThe last day of summer in the southern hemisphere is of course the day before the vernal equinox, or March 19 or so.
