Happy Winter Solstice!

At 11:47 am CST today, Monday, December 21, 2009, the sun will reach the Tropic of Capricorn at 23.5 degrees south latitude, and winter will officially begin.

Today marks the shortest daylight hours of the year, with 9 hours of possible sunlight for Milwaukee.  With all the clouds in the area, we shouldn't see any of that possible sunshine today.

Daylight hours will now increase every day.  Tomorrow's daylight hours will be a whopping 2 seconds longer than today's.
