Today’s the day!
As you will no doubt know the shortest day is either the 21st or 22nd of December. Thereafter the days start to lengthen but although sunset gets later so does sunrise. In other words immediately after the shortest day the mornings continue to get darker and did so until about a week ago.
Sunrise then stayed at 08:04 AM for about another week until now. Today sunrise became earlier by one minute and was at 08:03. Hoorah! Another whole minute of daylight.
We now have to wait until Thursday to gain another whole minute in the morning but at least the days are lengthening at both ends. We had better start planning.

Imagine having the time to watch and time the sun rise each morning.
Personally, I am watching the temperature. 20F this morning, tomorrow is suppose to be in the single digits. Yuck. I should have planned a trip to Florida now, instead of Europe in May.

Today, Jan. 7th at 4:45 AM, was supposed to be -35F to -45F with the wind chill with an actual temperature of -17F. Good news
Its only -7F now. With wind chill at -25F. I know nearly all of the school districts from here north are closed today. A lot of meetings and activities have been rescheduled also. Sun comes up at 8:35 here.
Guess I will go have breakfast with the “Old Guy’s Club” this morning
