Yes, winter may seem unforgiving. Yet Avercamp’s "Winter Landscape with Iceskaters" suggests that it is in the harshness of winter’s grip that human life finds its most unique pleasures.
A wondrous essay about human nature!
Now, how about spelling Winter "Winter" with the capital W?
Thanks, Me!
Also:
The word "winter" is capitalized in these cases:
1. When it's the first word in a sentence
2. When used as part of a proper noun or proper name, such as:
- Winter Olympics
- Winter Solstice (when referring to the specific astronomical event)
- Winter Palace
- Winter Street
- Winter formal (as the specific name of an event)
It's lowercase when:
1. Used as a general season of the year (e.g., "I love winter weather")
2. Used as an adjective describing something related to winter (e.g., "winter coat," "winter storm")
3. Used as a verb (e.g., "The cattle will winter in the valley")
This follows the general rule that seasons are not capitalized unless they're part of a proper noun or name.
