The solstice hath past

Today was the shortest day of the year. For those of you not living in a northern climate, it is short. Although the normal temperature today should've been -5C (23F), it got to 8C (46F). The sun came up at 8:37am and set at 4:31pm. What's wild about living at this latitude is that the sun only peaks at less than 16 degrees from the horizon at noon. Think about that for a moment (get out your protractors if need be). The best part is knowing that 6 months from now, it'll still be light out at 10:30pm.

Come on summer! Oh yeah.......
