I was going to post this a few weeks ago, but we were in the middle of unveiling the Winter Forecast. Sunrise today was at 6:59am and sunset will be at 4:27pm. Our days will continue to get shorter for another four weeks. We will lose another 23 minutes of daylight before we start slowly gaining back some sunshine.The earliest sunset is at 4:24pm, which occurs during the first two weeks of December. The latest sunrise is at 7:25am, and that occurs during the first week of January. The shortest day happens in the middle of these two time frames. Winter officially begins in the wee hours of December 22nd this year. On that day sunrise is at 7:22am and sunset is at 4:27pm. This means we will see only 9 hours and 5 minutes of sunlight... and that is only if the skies aren't overcast!
P.S. If you haven't seen this picture of a human holding the sun in its hands before it is pretty neat. It was obviously taken by a creative photographer near sunset. -ADAM

That's funny, I was just wondering about that! I was noticing how it was totally dark at 5pm, and was wondering when the days will stop getting shorter and start getting longer. Sorry, I'm not a fan of winter. It's depressing when there's not much sunshine.
