The Winter Solstice for the Northern Hemisphere in 2025 occured today at approximately 10:03 a.m. EST, marking the shortest day and longest night as the Earth’s tilt is furthest from the Sun. So today we officially begin the winter season and signal the gradual return of longer days. And, we celebrate this day because it is also my youngest granddaughters birthday. Happy birthday Madie! And, we have had overcast skies with a mix of rain and snow making it look and feel like winter here in Colorado.

I guess I missed the big Winter Solstice celebration. 🙂 Happy Birthday to Madie! A little chilly here today but by Chrustmas Day the high will be in the upper 60s, possibly even 70.

Well, I think you only missed a few minutes of the longer night but probably got in all your needed sleep. They say tomorrow is going to be colder.
