The Fall season comes to an end today, with the arrival of the first day of Winter.
Winter solstice begins today, with the season transition officially occurring at 9:27 tonight.
The winter solstice is the day with the fewest hours of sunlight, making today the “shortest day” of the year.
The advantage of reaching the beginning of Winter, is the increase in afternoon daylight hours, which continues until summer solstice and the longest day of the year.
With the arrival of Winter today, the season will remain in place until March 19th, when the first day of Spring arrives.
