Whether you like today’s snowstorm in Denver or hate it (we are voting the “pro” ticket at R&R Media World Headquarters), you have to admit it’s the perfect weather for the first official day of winter.
And here’s something we can ALL like: today is the shortest day of the year for sunlight. The sun rose today at 7:18 a.m. and will set at 4:39 p.m. Actually, maybe we DON’T all like that news, since it means a depressingly short 9 hours, 21 minutes and 13 seconds of daylight.
So here’s the good news: From now on the days start getting longer. Not by a lot, mind you. By Dec. 28 the amount of daylight will only have grown by 1 minute and 24 seconds. But if you’re patient (Hint: You have no choice), on the final day of January the daylight will last a whopping 46+ minutes longer.
So be patient, brighter days are ahead.
