Winter solstice! Yeehah!

[Globalti]

....and a lunar eclipse at 06:33 although as I type the moon is behind clouds.

Now the days start getting longer. Time to celebrate with a Druidic ritual, I think. We need seven virgins.

Errrr......

Only 180 days to the longest day - then it starts getting darker again.



My glass is half empty.

I sense an 'Anyone in shorts yet?' thread commencing any moment...

I think you've finished your drink and it's time to leave, here's your coat.

I sense an 'Anyone in shorts yet?' thread commencing any moment...

Still happily padding around the house in shorts and to the nearest shop (ok it's about 20 yards away!)

Er, isn't the solstice the official start of winter?

 

[Chamfus Flange]

the oldest days are normally around the end of January. This year may be different when you think of what we've just had.

It is
But
It is also the shortest day

Yes - the past couple of weeks have just been a bit of autumnal mellow fruitfulness. It'll start to get properly cold now with real snowfall!

Does this mean that the youngest days are in February or March?

Just think of what will happen when winter really gets going
