Solar Winter is upon us....


The Northern Hemisphere is entering the quarter of the year with the least amount of daylight. This is otherwise known as solar winter. As the Northern Hemisphere is tilted away from the direct rays of the sun, over 50 percent of the hemisphere is in darkness at any one time. The beginning of solar winter also marks the beginning of the second half of autumn in our area.
