Winter Bash 2018 took place from December 12th through January 1st. Do all Winter Bash competitions take place at this date range? Where can I look it up?

Tomorrow (January 2nd 2019) is the day that Winter Bash will be gone.  So I am thinking: Will there be some sort of a final ranking page anywhere?  It would be nice so I don't need to keep going to  every day to see my rank.  If there isn't going to be anything like that, what should I do to see my final rank on Winter Bash?

Although I keep my system time &amp; date in check using time.asia.apple.com, I can't "Set time zone automatically using current location". I get the error message, "Unable to determine current location at this time" every time I try this.    Does anyone know why this is happening?  Thanks.

I was poking around winterba.sh for secret hats and I figured there may be a secret hat linked to a URL so I decided to look at some different URLs and got plenty of 404s but, some pages throw different 404s than others. Why?  Example:  throws the classic "Page Not Found" winterbash style... but  just has the text "404"  ( used to throw just the text "404" but since that has changed)  Still happening at 2016 with .

I was wondering if the hats that I gained during this period will remain or I have them only during Christmas.  If it has an end, when does Winter Bash and hats period ends?

Is there a function or method to give the last day of a month? For example if the date is 27 feb 2013, the last date should be 28 feb 2013 , it become 29 if its a leap year. if the date was 2 jan then it should return 31 Jan.  If there is no function then any ideas on how we can get this?  Thanks

There's a bug on the :      invites you to celebrate the end of a great year …with HATS! As you use your site, you'll discover hats and other items hidden behind certain actions. Collect all of them, some of them, or none of them, but be quick – the hats get put back in their boxes on January 2nd!   (emphasis mine)  I know this is just copy-paste from 2018, but 2019 hasn't been a great year[citation not needed]. Please change this to something neutral like     celebrate the end of 2019   Yes, I realize for some users here 2019 may have been a great year for personal reasons, which are important. Usually way more important than what happens on the Internet; this may or may not be one of the exceptions. I'm happy for you, but this question refers to the general mood here.

I'm wondering what time of year is best, and what locations might be best, for catching the aurora.  I'm currently thinking of February up at Sweden's ice hotel, but since the whole point of the trip is so that my wife can see the Aurora, I want to pick a location that affords the best chances to see one.  Edit: Just adding a link so you can see realtime aurora activity in the northern hemisphere    I know this is anecdotal, but I ended up going to Iceland in late february during the new moon and saw the aurora 3 out of 6 nights I was there.  There was activity every single night but the biggest problem was weather.  It was cloudy almost every single night.

With Winter Bash 2017 nearing its end - another 3 days and all the hats go back in the box - why don't we take the opportunity to show off our hats and display our achievements? You can screenshot your hats and post an answer below, and show off your posh headgear!  Post hats, hats, and more hats! Those that you're especially proud of, or that you simply look good in - all are welcome ;)

There's brand new skins in overwatch, and they are event themed.  Will they be just gone after the event (those who have it keep it, those who don't are screwed...)  It should be one of 3 scenarios   Skin can still be got in boxes Skin cannot be got in boxes but can be bought with gold Skin is unavailable to any who dont have it, like with the founders skins

Just like , which was marked as . But today, it's not working again. I'm still notified of new badges:      Update: it looks like new events are now updated; reputation events from earlier this UTC afternoon are still missing:

I've met the following phrase:     Something happened on February 12-25, 2010.    It means that some event started on February 12th and ended on February 25th. Actually the text was about the Olympic Games. Is it correct to use the preposition on here? And how should it be pronounced in oral speach? Thank you in advance.

Why are you, the ever so pink-and-fluffy SE making me hate ?   I don't hate hats. I just don't want to participate because I'm a grumpy old bahumbug kinda guy.   I don't like hating :(  Can we choose not to participate rather than having to hate ?  I am sad.

How do you spell the following date:  December 6 (AmE)  6 December (BrE)  Do you spell this date as 'December six' or 'December the sixth' in American English?  And in British English, do you spell it as 'Six December' or 'The sixth of December'?

There are many companies that have their year end occur on dates other than December 31.  What are the advantages to this?

we had a question like this, and  SE  members have supported one this year, and nobody seems to have made one yet.  Hence:  What does everybody want for next year's Winter Bash? It's okay to repost old ideas that have already come up if you feel they haven't had enough attention (but please don't go just copy/pasting every  !).  A few ideas I can think of off the top of my head:   Moar hats! There's been plenty of time to get all the hats this year; it would be great if next year there'd be more to do. Keep secret hats secret-er. This could be pretty hard to do, but possibly by deleting/locking "how do I get secret hats" posts?   One idea per answer, please!

We just noticed on the Tavern on the Meta, that hats seem to have vanished on chat.  They also seem to be gone on regular chat, and I don't see the snowflake on Meta Stack Exchange some of the time (it's randomly appearing by the looks of things then vanishing).  I usually use Vivaldi, but the same issue on Firefox (I'm on 57 or thereabouts).  I suppose we can blame load, or hats..  or is it a hat hating grinch?      Totally glitched grinched I guess

I'm really confused on this. I have no idea on several things:   When do elections begin?   Is there a set time each year?   Do elections actually take place each year?   Can I vote?   Where do I vote?     Etc.  Can someone please help me?
