Is there any difference between in the winter and in winter
I have heard that they are exactly the same but for me it is not true
In the winter refers to a particular winter
and in winter it is general

Am I correct?

Question

Is there any difference between in the winter and in winter
I have heard that they are exactly the same but for me it is not true
In the winter refers to a particular winter
and in winter it is general

Am I correct?

Answer

"It snows here in winter." This means that it snows here every winter.
"It snowed here in the winter." It doesn't snow here every winter but it did this time.

I suspect that in Amercian English you can say 'It snows here in the winter' and it would mean the same thing as 'it snows here in winter.'
