Tomorrow is the Winter Solstice!

This is the shortest day of the year. Here in Damariscotta, that means the sun will rise at 7:09 AM and set at 4:02 PM. The whole day will be 8 hours, 53 minutes, and two seconds long, which is 6 hours, 36 minutes shorter than the Summer Solstice in June!

From here on in, the days get longer! Be sure to do something cozy to enjoy the extra long evening.
