Shortest day of the year

[Doc]

Soon we will encounter the day with the least number of daylight hours. Each day will seem longer. Of course they are still 24 hours and not really "longer". It just means that means that the number of hours of daylight will soon be increasing. We're heading for summer .... right?

"The December solstice happens at the same instant for all of us, everywhere on Earth. This year the solstice occurs on Tuesday December 22nd at 04:49 GMT (Universal time) with the sun rising over Stonehenge in Wiltshire at 08:04."

For the folks who hunt in the dark, it's also the longest night of the year. ;-]

Doc, only in the northern hemisphere...the southern hemisphere is the complete opposite. But I think you know that, right?

Antarctica is the place to be for sunshine right now..

Best part is after that, each day gets a couple of minutes more day light right up till June 20th, which will be our longest day of daylight!!!

The sunset time have been increasing for a few days now. Of coarse, those of us still hunting know this. Sometimes that extra minute or two can make a difference during the muzzleloader season.

I'm ready to be heading toward summer. What a long winter this has been (and it just started). Just the other day, we had a dusting of snow (of all things). And the temperature was below freezing (if you can imagine that). I can't take it anymore I tell ya. I'm scratching and digging for anything that makes me think it will get better.
