Winter....

Yesterday was the winter solstice, the shortest day of the year, the longest night of the year, the astronomical (and astrological) start of winter.

It sure felt like it too. We got maybe a half inch of snow over night, and it was cold, the high being well below freezing. Parts north had it much worse, though; the Green Bay area got dumped on with around ten inches of snow.

Starting today, though, the nights will get shorter and the days will get longer. And Christmas is just around the corner.
