How this countdown works
The target is the next occurrence of Winter (Northern Hemisphere) from today, computed with the IANA time zone database so the date is right even across daylight saving changes. The clock counts down to midnight at the start of that day in your own time zone, and once the day passes it rolls forward to the following year automatically. Need a different moment?
