Does January 1st coincide with the ending of winter anywhere?

Ending? Winter just started 10 days ago.

Ah, well, they moved it ten days away, very hidden and sneaky. Those dastardly fiends.

I said "passing", not "end". The end of the year is roughly aligned with mid-winter, a.k.a. the winter solstice, the point at which light and life begin their return.
