If you read the month of december as being summer its true for the
southern hemisphere but not the northen, to do it properly you would
have to detect the hemisphere then choose to load either summer or
winter based on where the user is.
I've just switched it over to PHP based system now, it still won't help
but it fixes the "flash" that was happening when the page loads.

Looking at your javascript, I don't understand your reasons for using
javascript. You are determining the season from the Month and Day. This is
constant across the globe (give or take) at any specific time. Therefore
can't you use PHP or some other server script tool or even just a manual
replacing of the stylesheet periodically to reflect the current season? I
don't know whether JS can detect local region settings?

The problem is, it's always going to be a different season for everyone,
it doesn't really matter if its set to the server time or not. The only
way to get around it would be to do an IP detect to check what
hemisphere the user is in. Maybe in the future..
Thanks for the link about the stylesheet switch, I guess doing it in PHP
would also fix it too, I wouldn't have to worry about the user the
having Javascript enabled.

Ok, it's my turn for a site critique:
http://www.seasonstravel.com.au/
What I'm worried about:
- A new stylesheet loads depending on what season your computer clock
is currently in, it should also load a default stylesheet if you don't
have javascript enabled, is their any browsers that might have a problem
with this?
A problem is see is there is a flash before the new stylesheet is
loaded. The page was orange/red and then the javascript happened and
it was green. There are ways to have Javascript work before the page
loads, one example used for another stylesheet modifier is here:
http://www.bobbyvandersluis.com/articles/unobtrusiveshowhide.php
Read through it and see if the technique used there could prevent that
flash.
Or maybe you could do the stylesheet based on the server time and not
my computer's time... that would also solve the problem... I mean,
it's snowing here... is the page supposed to be green? Or is it
because the weather is nice over there?
