Here comes the light!

Sine the solstice (one week ago), we have gained 5 minutes in the evening.  However, we have still been losing daylight in the morning (sunrise is still getting later).  Beginning tomorrow, the sunrise time stays constant until January 8th, when we start to gain light in the morning.  The really good news is that sundown is getting later by 1 minute per day!  So, between now and January 8, we will gain about 10 minutes of light in the evening.  A later sunset makes us all feel better as the natural light has a positive impact on us.  For some of us in New England, the lack of snow seems to have made the darkness not so bad this year.  Still expecting some whopper snow storms before the winter is over.
