Today is the shortest day of the year and for those sun loving souls on here, from tomorrow on the daylight will get a little longer each day (about 2 minutes a day) until the summer solstice in June.

It is dark here in MN by 4pm. I can't wait for tomorrow now. LOL

It already feels like spring here and tomorrow almost like summer. It is going up to about 70 degrees in suburban Philly! That is insane weather for a few days before Christmas.

I'm ready for longer afternoons, but NOT the 100+ degree temperatures! I'm not a huge fan of summer, tho at least at night about 7pm you can still go out to the park or sit by the lake..... 7pm in winter, not so much. But it hasn't been too cold here yet.

But yes, happy solstice!

yeah - although it seems like winter is just starting here - only 5 more months to go!!!

So grateful for today - it does get dark here by 5ish. Will be glad when it is not.

It gets dark here around 6pm....and temps today have been in the 70s.

Thanks for pointing it out. I always think about it. I love to watch the days get longer. Yay!

I heard you had gorgeous weather down there today! A good friend of mine said he took his Harley out for a spin today! We're in the middle of a freaking ice storm and I'm not happy about it!

it has been getting dark here just a smidge after 5...ewwwwwwwww
but I will say for a bit today it was almost balmy.....we hit 47 degrees

For such a short day, I sure was tired by dark thirty!
