When is the start date for Winter Event 2023?

The official first day of winter is 23rd December......

 

Edit: I always get it wrong, the solstice which is the official first day of winter is around the 21st/22nd December

Got Winter event burn out. Skipping this year and maybe next barring any cataclysmic events in 2024.

I'm mostly skipping Christmas. I'll pop to my sisters for dinner at 1pm, open presents at 2pm, home for 3pm. CoX till 6.25pm, then Doctor Who Christmas Special at 6.30pm.

Cant wait to haul that cigar smoking strongman BNY all around.  (I quit the game for 6 months once when they made it a Apr 1 joke and banned me from complaining about it on boards….

 

I remember that April fools gag.  That has to be one of the worst jokes/pranks ever. 

 

(or does that mean it's the best?... No.  No it was bad and I'm still not over it.)

You just need to wait for the kinetics to start hanging out at the tops of the runs passing out SB and IR...

December 1, Greenwich Mean Time - this meaning that we here in the EST zone are going to get it starting about 7:00 p.m., Nov. 30.  I will miss the fall-coloured trees, but Atlas Park is worth going to just to take in the city at night.  As I posted a couple years ago, there ain't no substitute for the quiet snowfall in the Atlas Park neighbourhoods as the midnight hour works its way around.  One moment of peace and stillness...this until the voice balloon of a Skull thug demanding, "Hand it over, lady!" followed by, "Help!  Help!  They're taking my rent money!" lets us know that, hey, Atlas Park might be beautiful this time of year, but it's time to get back to work busting heads in celebration of the season...

I would love to see a link to where there is an official first day of winter.

 

Seasons are just common usage.  Officially there are years, months, and days - but there are no official seasons.  At least as far as I know of.

 

Anyone have a link to a declaration of what is "officially" winter?

It is usually the 21st or 22nd of December based on the Winter Solstice. 

 

So, answers may vary but that is what a lot of people around the Northern Hemisphere consider "winter."

 

I was going to paste the same link 😛

It's definitely not winter yet, forecast in the low 80's today. I might have to bust out the long sleeve T-shirt out of my emergency winter clothing reserve because winter is coming. Once it gets to the low 70's people in my neighborhood start wearing coats and mittens.

Lookit all these "too cool for Christmas" people, Santa's taking you off his presents list!
