For all practical purposes, we are in the depths of winter in northern Michigan.
Granted, the winter solstice is not until the 21st of December, but
meteorlogically, it’s darn cold around here right now. The Celts had it right. In
that culture, the solstice is the mid-point of winter. The March equinox marks
the middle of Spring. Read here about the seasons as defined by those ancient
people; particularly the cross-quarter days.
If you are new to the night sky, the Naked Eye Planets website is a great source
