Merry Winter Solstice – December 21, 2022

 


Has anyone wished you a Happy Winter Solstice Day? Today, December 21, 2022, is the day with the fewest hours of sunlight making it the shortest day and longest night of the year! It's also the first day of winter, as the Northern Hemisphere tilts away from the Sun resulting in less sunlight.

Here in Florida, it looks like we may experience a bit of winter's chill this weekend. And days will gradually begin to grow longer and the nights shorter as we experience winter. Living in the Sunshine State, we are fortunate to receive more sunshine in the winter and less in the summer than the northern states. Winter Solstice here is only about 3 hours shorter than the longest day.

So, enjoy your Winter Solstice Day with a nice walk during the day and plan a cup of tea or hot cocoa to celebrate our longest night of the year!
