Why winter in the northern hemisphere is much colder and snowier than winter in the southern hemisphere?

Question

To clarify, I’m asking why when it is winter IN the southern hemisphere, why is it milder than winters in the northern.

Not asking why are the seasons reversed.

Answer 1

More land in the northern hemisphere. Land cools/heats much faster than water does.

Pretty much no land in the southern hemisphere at about 60 degrees south. So if your point of comparison is a northern hemisphere city at 60 degrees north, then you don’t really have a fair comparison. If you’re comparing a city at the tip of South America, it’s not very far from the ocean, compared to some northern hemisphere cities at the equivalent latitude.
