Winter Solstice
December 19, 2009 8:24 am Commentary, EnvironmentNot being a fan of cold and dark, icy roads and obscured views, I look forward to the winter solstice more than any other date. From here, actually a few days away, comes longer and brighter days—albeit at a slow rate at first.

Come late January days feel better; by mid-February the countdown gets close. St. Patrick’s Day marks spring beginning.
