Winter is the coldest season of the year. December and January are chiefly the winter months. During winter, cold winds blow from the north. Thick fog often hides the sun, and cold becomes severe.

The poor people suffer during the winter for want of warm clothes. They are seen basking in the sun, or sitting around the fire, to keep their body warm. People wear warm clothes and use blankets, quilts, etc. to protect themselves from severe cold. Winter is a pleasant season for those who can afford warm clothes.

In winter, various fruits like orange, grapes, apples and vegetables like cabbage, turnips, cauliflower, radish tomato, etc. grow in abundance in India. Winter is the sowing season for wheat, barley and a few other crops. Winter gives us various kinds of seasonal flowers, dalais, roses and many other beautiful flowers.
