When does winter start?

Therefore winter is considered to be the months of November, December and January. The December solstice will occur at 23:38 (or 11.38pm) Coordinated Universal Time (UTC) on December 21, 2010. The December solstice occurs when the sun reaches its most southerly declination of -23.5 degrees. In other words, it is when the North Pole is tilted 23.5 degrees away from the sun. The sun is directly overhead on the Tropic of Capricorn in the southern hemisphere during the December solstice.

About when does each solstice occur in the northern hemisphere?
The solstices are points on the 'map' of the stars, representing the sun's apparent farthest north and farthest south excursions in the course of a year.

The June solstice marks the beginning of astronomical Summer in the northern hemisphere, and Winter in the southern one. The December solstice marks the beginning of astronomical Summer in the southern hemisphere, and Winter in the northern one.
