Take heart sun lovers, it is the winter solstice.  Longer days from here on, at least until June 21.  grin

Well, yeah - it's cloudy and snowy here, about 20 degF, and the wind is blowing.  sad

Of course when it does finally get warm, we will be worried about fires  shocked

Chromalux bulbs in the house, 5 min in the gym tanning booth for vitamin D.

I'd rather have cold than the enervating humidity that existed where I'm from.

Jan 19 to Feb 9 for our annual trek to Key West.  I shall rub thy noses in it again when the time is nigh.  grin grin

What I don't understand is what happened to all that daylight that we "saved" last summer Huh?  Right now would be a good time to withdraw and use a little of it. Wink

It's about freaking time!  I hate the growing dark of early winter.  Makes me grumpy.

Come to think of it, my husband isn't a fan of the whole system either.  I wonder why....
