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

It has more to do with the amount of land that’s positioned between the tropics and antarctic. Water acts as a heat sick, so higher percentage of water to land means temps stay more consistent and also the lower amount of land in general mean there are fewer places far enough south to be as cold as places far north are.
