We start gaining daylight.

Do you get any light at all this time of year? Or are you far enough south that you get a little?
Wind in my hair, Sun on my face, I gazed at the wide open spaces, And I was at home.

ALASKA is a "HARD COUNTRY for OLDMEN". (But if you live it wide'ass open, balls'to the wall, the pedal floored, full throttle, it is a delightful place, to finally just sit-back and savor those memories while sipping Tequila).

I guess it's appropriate to "celebrate the shortest day with a -36° "day" in FBX. Admittedly, it did do an honest + or - minus 2 or 3 degrees, but -36 was the most popular player by far.
...and -35 to -40 seems to what we can look forward to for the week.
I don't need this after being laid up for the past 40 days. Can't drive, can't get out much, pretty much stuck indoors. I already have cabin fever. The light will be welcome.

Every year I look forward to this more than I do Christmas. We turn the page, Summer is on the way.

That's 12:30 real (solar) time? Still cold, tho it's warmer than yesterday. Only -22 here right now. Wife was getting ready to go do her Wed thing at the food bank, I put on my jacket to get some stuff out of her car, Chako the Wunder Wiener went and hid under a dresser. Probably the smartest thing (or the equivalent) to do at that, for all of us.

Great, but we only gain 4 minutes of daylight this week, so still 5 hours of daylight that won't warm us up from -46!

But it gives you 4 more minutes to look at the thermometer without a flashlight.
