...There has to be some reason the beginning of the year is in the middle of winter. =)
For me, that feeling comes with the first rain...being in California, the first rain means that all the grass that has been dry and brown will soon be replaced with new, green grass. The middle of winter is sort of a first spring...then when the frost hits sometime around Christmas, it can kill the new growth that's unsheltered, but not long after the rain begins in earnest it all comes back...there's probably a metaphor there...
