Winter Solstice



Happy Winter Solstice!

Today is the shortest day of the year and you know what that means?  The days can only get longer!!!!  Wahoo!!!!!

Sunrise in Whitehorse, Yukon today - 10:09 a.m.
Sunset in Whitheorse, Yukon today - 3:47 p.m.
5 hours and 37 minutes of sun today

Just to clarify, the moon picture above is not from today, this was taken a couple of weeks ago after the girls had their first curling bonspiel.  It was about 4:30 p.m. (or so, definitely before 5 pm) at the time this shot was taken.

Have a wonderful day!
Vivian

ps:  ok, technically, according to the internet, Winter Solstice is tomorrow, however, tomorrow we have more sunlight then today according to the good folks at Time and Date dot com.
