We start gaining daylight.

Bender:

Do you get any light at all this time of year? Or are you far enough south that you get a little?

I’m pretty sure that Ironbender is perpetually in the dark….😂

I’m obviously kidding because I respect IB and his sense of humor.

Depends on how long he has been married.

5+ hours of daylight, I think

Hard to tell with the covers over my head. .

You bastards know I can see this…right?

Today:

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.

-28 here at 7 am. Banana belt......

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

I can hardly stand the suspense!

Must be sunrise- kinda a pale yellow green over east thru the trees this morning.

Yes. It's nice to be heading in the correct direction.

Yesterday’s noon sunshine at 1:30 PM.

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.

Pretty much 12:30 solar since were on permanent daylight time.

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.

Truth!
