Last night was the longest night of the year (except for those in the Southern Hemisphere who had the shortest night--with or without an ozone layer).
This morning at 7:42 EST, the sun hovered over the equator and then began moving back north.
As the days grow longer, winter will grow stronger.
Three months to springtime (or to autumnal delights).
Happy Solstice to all.
Happy solstice,
and Blessed be
Happy Solstice, Noddy.
The actual point was at 4:42am here... still no sun yet, but the sky is lightening. Sunrise is supposed to be at 7:55.
Here's a fine website for finding out those kinds of times:

Quote:The holly and the ivy,
When they are both full grown
Of all the trees that are in the wood
The holly bears the crown
O the rising of the sun
And the running of the deer
The playing of the merry organ
Sweet singing of the choir.
shewolf--
Thank you. I hope as the daylight increases your strength will also grow.
Piffka--
Great site--in fact, great reply. I have a couple local mountains that complicate sunrise and sunset--but moving them would be much-too-much trouble.
