I find it interesting how our words for the most basic things almost never change. Kinda like how our words for Mama and Papa are the same basically everywhere (even Mandarin has Mama). All major language groups share pretty much the same name for winter

Ah, Winter… or as our Italian friends know it: The Season of the Inverted Inferno.
I’m going to add Cornish in here too (far south west tip of/past England) – it’s Gwav. Close links to Welsh and Breton linguistically.
Fun map OP.
Suddenly the clear beer name makes sense.
Inverno is kinda funny because inferno is something rather hot.
