Friday, January 19th, was the first day since autumn, that I noticed light still in the sky when I drove home. It wasn’t much, and it didn’t last long, but it was there! Granted, I actually left work on time, but I’m counting the sighting as a moral win.

Our current length of day is 5 hrs, 40 mins, with length of visible light at 7 hrs, 53 mins.

That’s the good news.

As I type this, it it -28F outside, with a low tonight of -38F. The high on Monday is alleged to be -30F. Luckily, the temperature on Monday night should only drop down to -34F. 

You may now go back to griping about your weather in the Lower 48.
