SPRING COUNTDOWN STARTS DEC. 21ST
from TT
All that is about to change as of tomorrow, Dec. 21, at 8:04 a.m. when the Winter Solstice occurs. There will not be any fireworks or distinctive announcements that will tell us it’s happened as expected; however, it will indeed happen just as it has done for centuries.
At 8:04 a.m. tomorrow, the sun will end its annual journey south and begin returning north. Yes, tonight will be the longest night of the year for 2008 however, it signals some very major changes that are about to happen.
As of Monday, Dec. 22, we will be able to greet the sun just a bit earlier in the morning and bid adieu just a bit later in the evening (with variation). This does signal the beginning of winter in our Northern Hemisphere, however, if you happen to live in the Southern Hemisphere, it marks the beginning of summer.
