Thursday is the winter solstice, which also means it’s the shortest day of the year.
Sunrise takes place at 7:39 a.m. with sunset at 4:56 p.m. which works out to just under nine hours and 17 minutes of daylight.
After today, the nights will begin to get shorter as the northern hemisphere tilts back towards the sun.
The winter season will end with the beginning of spring on March 19th, 2024.
