Shortest Darkest Day of The Year (Yesterday)

December 21 (A.K.A. Winter Solstice) gave us (Salt Lakers) 9 hours 14 minutes & 51 seconds of daylight, while today we will experience 9 hours 14 minutes & 55 seconds of daylight--a whopping 4 seconds more!

BooYah!

This longer lighter trend will continue until we experience the longest lightest day of the year June 21 for 15 hours 6 minutes & 5 seconds. Just under 6 more hours of daylight.

Sah-wheet!!

We'll go back on Daylight Savings in a couple months (March 8), enjoy the first day of spring in a few (March 21), and be spring skiing, hiking, & biking before long.

Bring it!!!

Hmmm...the winter window's closing quickly--I better get out and slip, slide, & tackle some snow!
