Stonehenge has stood for thousands of years, and each year, the prehistoric English monument helps to mark the winter solstice. "Although the tallest trilithon at the monument is no longer standing, the sun would have set between the narrow gap of these uprights during the winter solstice," according to English Heritage.

For years, it's been common practice to use salt on roads and sidewalks in order to melt slippery—and potentially dangerous—ice. But, salt can actually be harmful to the environment and in an effort to be more eco-friendly, some cities are using alternative methods to melt ice, such as beet juice, beer waste, and pickle brine, according to National Geographic. A county in Wisconsin, a state famous for its dairy, is even using cheese brine to prep roads before snowstorms!

Don't feel like rolling your own snowballs this winter? Then you'll want to keep an eye out for snow rollers, which, according to National Geographic, are "the cold weather equivalent of tumbleweeds." Apparently, "wind pushes snow across the ground, gathering it into a hollow cylinder" and creating these self-forming snowballs.

Spotting colorful snow of any shade is exciting, but if you happen to see pink snow then you can impress your friends by letting them know it's called watermelon snow, according to The Old Farmer's Almanac. Along with sharing the tasty fruit's pleasant pink shade, the snow also smells sweet. But that doesn't mean that you should eat it! The rosy hue is often due to algae, which can make you sick if you ingest it.

We may think of snow as being pristinely white, but technically, it's completely colorless. Despite that fact, tiny particles of dust or algae can make snow appear to be a range of different rainbow-like colors, including yellow, orange, green, and even purple, according to The Old Farmer's Almanac.

It's not unusual to hear thunder during a summer storm, but did you know that thunder can come clapping during the winter months, too? It's called thundersnow, and it's a rare weather phenomenon that refers to a snowstorm complete with both thunder and lightning. For thundersnow to occur, "the air layer closer to the ground has to be warmer than the layers above, but still cold enough to create snow," according to CNN.

Santa Claus isn't the only winter figure with a jolly nature. While people born during the spring and summer months tend to have "excessively positive temperaments," they're also "more likely to experience rapid shifts in mood," according to 2011 research published in the Journal of Affective Disorder. On the other hand, those who made their entrance into the world during winter are "less likely to have irritable temperaments."

Plenty of animals tuck away food for the winter, including red squirrels, who prepare a particularly unique snack to enjoy when the temperature drops. Along with storing seeds and nuts, the culinarily inclined critters dry out mushrooms in trees to make what National Geographic describes as "hand-made artisanal conifer-dried mushroom jerky." Yum!
