> the Solstice is the "dead of winter", the longest night, with the least warmth...
Might be the longest night, but as for warmth that depends entirely on the weather at the time. Looking back over my weather records temperatures around the solstice are certainly not the coldest.
'As the day lengthens, the winter strengthens'.
