Happy Winter Solstice!

In the midst of all this crazy Apocalypse talk, I feel like a more important event has been forgotten about. The Winter Solstice!

Happy Shortest Day of the Year!
Things only get brighter from here!

If I might offer the traditional greeting: May your measurements always be accurate, and your statistics devoid of systematic bias.

Happy Summer Solstice to those in Australia and New Zealand. Lovely sunny day in Hobart with a 25C maximum predicted.

Happy Winter Solstice!

I am now going to celebrate by turning on every

light in house and then watching my husband have a fit.

Ahh yes the Winter Solstice, best day of my life 20 years ago!

Mmm. I'm not really noticing it being darker longer down here. Interesting. It was obvious in DC and Cincinnati, and especially New England. But no, not down here in the Bayou.

And for the negative spin, the days only get longer.
