Rye Miles #13621 Posted December 21, 2022 Share Posted December 21, 2022 Winter Solstice 2022: The First Day of Winter The Winter Solstice, or more commonly known as the "First Day of Winter," is the day with the fewest hours of sunlight in the whole year, making it the “shortest day” of the year. Thankfully, after we reach the winter solstice, the days begin to once again grow longer and longer until we reach the summer solstice — the first day of summer and the longest day of the year. Think of it this way: Although the winter solstice means the start of winter, it also means the return of more sunlight. It only gets brighter from here!

Marshal Mo Hare, SASS #45984 Posted December 22, 2022 Share Posted December 22, 2022 For much of the world, winter starts on 1December. Thee only good thing about that is summer starts on 1 June. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Subdeacon Joe Posted December 22, 2022 Share Posted December 22, 2022 By any rational measure "The First Day of Winter" is really Mid-winter. The real first day of a season is between the Solstice and the Equinox. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dunno why they teach the manure in public school that June 21 is the first day of summer, when it is actually High Summer. Same as December 21 is Mid-Winter.

Rye Miles #13621 Posted December 22, 2022 Author Share Posted December 22, 2022 I agree it’s colder before the Winter solstice and hotter before the summer solstice but it’s all about the position of the earth with the sun. I’m trying to think positive here with a winter storm coming this weekend! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
