Despite the fact that it has most certainly ~felt~ like winter for the last few months, it's actually only just starting now. December 21 is the first day of the official winter season, aka, it's the winter solstice. It's the coldest season of the year, but it's also one of the most beautiful, which means you're going to want to make some room in your photo roll. Get ready to fill your phone with snow-covered landscapes, branches bending under fresh powder, and purple night skies galore. And then start thinking about Instagram captions for the first day of winter, because on the shortest day of the year, you'll have less time to deliberate over the perfect caption.

To make things easier for you, I've rounded up some snowy captions that will complement your wintry pictures. To give you some variety, I've mixed together quotes and musings from literature, comedic observations, poetic descriptions and everything #relevant in between. Having your captions ready to go before you even snap a photo is a great way to get ahead of the game and ensure that you're not held back from the fun when you finally do find that great, first day of winter photo that you're dying to share with your friends and followers.
