    woooohoooooooooo!!!!!!!!!!




    I know we've compared before, but this far north, sunset today is at 4:08pm and sunrise tomorrow is about 8:35AM, giving us about 7.5 hrs of daylight, and we're a week past the solstice. Looking at the chart, we gain about a minute a day.

    Yeah, we start celebrating Dec. 22 in my house. Our morning sun is up probably around 6:30-7, and the sun sets around 5.

    We've been hanging around -20C and 8 or so degrees colder with the wind chill.




    And all those southern people wonder why I'm so "sanctimonious" about slipping on ice.

    At least I can go to the beach to cool off, if you jumped in water you would turn into an ice block
