Winter Solstice

Yippeeee!


It's the shortest day of the year!  Hip hip hooray!  Sunrise:  7:32 am.  Sunset:  3:59 pm.  Eight and a half hours of light, fifteen and a half hours of darkness.  Look at how low the sun is in the sky and the long shadows it casts.

Brighter and longer days are on the way, the sun is returning to our hemisphere tomorrow.  I hope it turns up the temperature a bit.  This ice age weather has got to go.

We had some beautiful blue skies on Friday, in between storms.


The little grand fir has a nice blob of snow at the top.  It's right outside my bedroom window.
The next storm has arrived and is dumping a new batch of snow to shovel off the driveway.  The temperature?  A toasty 10 degrees.
