You do understand that summer in the Southern Hemisphere happens during our winter and vice versa??

It's safe to say that I did, in fact, not know that.

Look up the Earth's axis tilt and how it and the earth's revolution around the sun combine to cause the sun to appear to move northward from (Northern) winter solstice to summer solstice and southward from June 20 to Dec 20. I guess I was lucky that Mrs. Collins spent a lot of time on the Earth and the Solar System in 3rd grade.

Yeeeaaah, but I think I prefer ‘cold summer’ and ‘hot winter’. Then I can say stuff like “next cold summer let’s go skiing in Queenstown”. It’ll be weird at first, but I reckon it’ll really catch on. And then we can finally have Christmas in winter, just like in the movies!
