Reason for the Season

12-21-solsticejpg-d5b642387244ece4

Today marks the Winter Solstice, the shortest day of the year in the northern hemisphere (longest south of the equator) and the official first day of winter.  The weather may actually get worse for the next couple of months, but you can take heart in the fact that, after today, each day will be a little longer as we work our way toward spring.

Not only that, we are now almost 1/4 of our way through “Meteorological Winter.” That’s a term weathermen sometimes use for December, January and February – the coldest three months of the year.
