Reply to comment by keithatcpt in I live in New Hampshire, USA. How come it continues to get colder here after the Winter solstice? by WayneHudsonIII
We have it easy in the northern hemisphere--Earth is closest to the Sun on January 3, farthest from the Sun in July. The southern hemisphere gets the worst of it in both months (hotter summers and colder winters), though it's mediated somewhat by more ocean in the southern part of the planet.
