  overview of the real difference.

• Meteorological seasons are instead according to
  annual temperature cycles measuring the
  meteorological state and coinciding with all the
  Gregorian calendar to ascertain a clear
  transition and equal time period of season.

• This year the meteorological winter begins on 1
  December 2015 and ends on 29 February 2016.The
  meteorological seasons is made up of splitting
  the seasons into four periods derived from three
  months each.

  Gregorian calendar making it easier for
  meteorological observing and forecasting to
  compare and contrast seasonal and monthly
  statistics. By the meteorological calendar,
  winter always starts on 1 December.

• The dates from the equinoxes and solstices aren't
  fixed due to Earth's elliptical orbit with the
  sun. The Earth's orbit across the sun shows that
  in early January, direct sunlight is closest
  (called perihelion) and during the early July
  it's most distant (aphelion). Visit here for more
  information about First day of winter.
