Winter is a magical season. Natural gifts in winter

Those who live in the northern hemisphere are very lucky. Of course, anywhere in the world there are all seasons. But, for example, in Africa, Brazil and Australia there is no snow, there is no "negative" temperature. Instead of snow there are heavy rains. And at the North Pole, as well as on the south pole, there is always snow, it's always cold, and it's natural. Winter - is not only a drop in temperature below zero Celsius and the appearance of snow, but many miracles.

When winter comes

Strangely enough, but the first snow can fall even in early October. Most often, it melts quickly. By the way, there is an interesting episode in the life of Saints Peter and Fevronia: a wonderful girl told her fellow villagers that they were preparing a sleigh on June 1. And, indeed, on the day of their wedding with the prince Peter snow fell. At the beginning of summer! In the courtyard was the XII century. What to say about our time? Everything is possible. Unfortunately, since 2010 in Central Europe, as in Europe in general, snow began to appear less often, on the street even before the New Year "plus temperature." The notion of "cold winter" goes back to the past.

The real winter lasts three months: December, January, February. Modern calendars are most often decorated by the seasons. This is done, apparently, to remind people about what is happening in nature at the moment. For example, what does January look like? Winter is sunny, frosty and in the forest is depicted on a multitude of calendars.

The concept of winter in the southern hemisphere

Not every inhabitant of Eurasia and North America realizes that, for example, in Australia, in December summer comes. That is, on the southern continents absolutely opposite seasons. If in the spring everything blossoms and blossoms, then on the contrary autumn comes, harvest is harvested. For the inhabitants of the south, winter is the rainy season. There is no snow. The poor do not know that there is snow. Imagine African children from southern countries who live in warm regions. If they are brought to Russia in the winter, they will be very surprised.

There is an exception for large mountains. After all, at an altitude of over 1000-1500 meters, the climate is completely different. It's much cooler here than on the beach. Small frosts and snow fall are also possible.

You can recall the history of the Nativity of Christ. Jesus Christ was born in Bethlehem (Israel). The Most Holy Theotokos with Joseph the Betrothed walked through the desert. At night, the temperature dropped to 0 degrees. It was in January (according to a new style). This was the winter 2000 years ago on the deserted Israeli land.

Miracles from our beloved nature

It's a pleasure to look at a snowflake. Crystals of frozen water turn into fanciful patterns. You can even take a magnifying glass to see it. Fans of macro photography have what to capture at this time of year. Winter is considered a festive season, because it is so.

And now imagine that under your feet a white canvas lay billions of such wonderful snowflakes. During severe frosts, the snow creaks when it hits. You can watch how happy pets are walking in winter, despite the cold. They know that the snow is frozen water. They eat it as if they were drinking water.

Cold winter is the time for creative people. The amateurs on the mirror cameras shoot their pets, surrounding nature, people. Artists draw unusual landscapes. Poets and prose writers describe what they see, feel. Everyone is happy.

Hoarfrost is a real magic that pleases the eye. Frozen twigs, leaves and berries poured like jewels in the sun and in the light of a lantern. The harder the frost, the more chances to see it all. Unfortunately, if the street is above minus 10, then such a miracle can not be seen. You need to catch the moment and follow the weather forecast.

Features of winter weather

As is known, in summer the sunny weather is accompanied by a heat, but in winter everything happens the other way around. Warmer when there is no sun, and it's snowing. In clear weather, the air temperature is significantly reduced. Even in the poem of Alexander Pushkin. There are lines "Frost and the sun - a wonderful day ...". And after all so it also is. Winter is a time when the sun is short, the days are shorter. But nevertheless, it is considered a fun season, if there is snow in large quantities.

In winter, you need to dress warmer so as not to catch cold. It is undesirable to go out without warm outer clothing and shoes, even on a balcony or porch. The air is quite cold, even if the street is slightly above 0 degrees.

And again about the magical winter

This small section is dedicated to creative personalities. As mentioned above, amateur photographers and artists will find themselves here. For example, why not depict the hoarfrost on paper with the help of paints? This is a very difficult but interesting activity. It's great to learn from nature itself at this time of year. Winter is very beautiful. How does nature paint such magnificent patterns? For man remains a mystery. It is better to be able to appreciate what is, and not to disassemble prepared.

To capture frost with photographic equipment, you need to wait for the sunny weather. Earlier it was mentioned that severe frosts occur just on a clear day. Even at night you can take pictures of the forest and the moon. Winter is a joyful holiday, and not just a season. Little children believe in miracles, and some adults follow their example.
