I would once again like to suggest that we reconfigure seasons so that the equinoxes and solstices are the midpoint of each season, rather than the start of the next season. We could call the halves on either side of today “waxing winter” and “waning winter” or something.

@chrisfried I think about this sometimes (why is the first day of summer “Midsummer”?!), but the day length is really only like the second derivative of the seasonal temperature variations, so honestly it works better as is (we’ve only been having “winter” weather for a couple weeks now)
@elfprince13 *looks at temperature averages* Boo, fine. It does make more sense as is from that perspective.
