wintereve

Wintereve refers to the period immediately preceding winter. It is a time of transition when the last vestiges of autumn give way to the colder conditions of winter. The term is often used to describe the days or weeks leading up to the official start of winter, which is typically marked by the winter solstice. During wintereve, temperatures begin to drop noticeably, and the length of daylight hours decreases. One might observe changes in nature, such as leaves having fallen from trees and the possibility of early frosts or light snowfall in some regions. It is a period of anticipation for the coming winter season.
