Does 'this winter' mean eg February, or eg December?

When a software company says "shipping this Summer", for example, that usually means the very last before the autumnal equinox.

So, if Arc is available for download at UTC 5:48am on March 20, pg will have met his goal. :)

It depends on being optimist/pessimist.

I'm realist, so I predict: this spring (to be clear: there's only one in 2008).

There are two! One in the northern hemisphere and one in the southern.
