deaneI'm a little late this year in offering you all my best wishes for the Winter Solstice. The days here in the northern hemisphere are now getting longer again, and while the effects won't be noticeable for another month, at least its headed in the right direction.
For those of your in the southern hemisphere, any dismay you may feel at the thought or your days now getting shorter may be tempered by the fact that at least you've still got warm weather.
Speaking of weather, we've been doing fairly well this year. Normally we get an early snowfall near the end of November, a couple of light dustings in December, then another dump in January. This year we didn't get that first snowfall until mid-December and it's now been washed away by the winter rains. The skies are leaden grey about three out of every four days. but I consider that a price worth paying not to have to shovel out my driveway twice a week and spend three months driving on black ice. :-)
