Sometimes winter can come at the behest of one of the rulers. So, once the favorite of the King of France, Louis XIV, wanted to ride a sleigh in the summer. There were no problems – a snow track of salt and sugar was instantly erected around Versailles.
If we have winter – December, January and February, then in the southern hemisphere everything is the opposite. There, the calendar winter comes when we have a hot summer. This is true for Australia, New Zealand, Africa and South America.
