If you're feeling a little distant this morning, you're not alone. It's the winter solstice — when the Northern Hemisphere of the Earth is tilted as far as possible away from the sun. That brings the shortest amount of daylight and the longest amount of darkness.
We are over the hump, so starting tomorrow there will be a little bit more sunlight each day until the summer solstice in June. Then we'll move in the other direction and lose a little sunlight each day.
