No, maybe we should have more discussion on when we should arbitrarily decide the solstice is!  Yeah!  <div class="Discussion_UserSignature"> .bipartisan (bī-pär'tĭ-zən, -sən) [Adj.] Maintaining the ability to blame republications when your stimulus plan proves to be a devastating failure.IMPEACH OBAMA! </div>

Replying to: <DIV CLASS='Discussion_PostQuote'>No, but Winter did officially start yesterday morning. Posted by adrenalynn</DIV> That's astronomical winter. Meteorological winter in the US is the months of Dec, Jan, and Feb which brackets the lowest annual everage temperature far better than the astronomical season.Weather Wayne <div class="Discussion_UserSignature"> But the Krell forgot one thing John.

The afternoons are beginning to lengthen but the mornings are still getting darker here, with the latest sunrise on 2nd January. However, the duration the Sun is above the horizon is slowly lengthening at first, but it will quicken during January & February, reaching a peak in March around the Vernal Equinox @ 11:43 HRS UTC on Friday 20th March 2009.Andrew Brown.  <div class="Discussion_UserSignature"> "I suddenly noticed an anomaly to the left of Io, just off the rim of that world.

So you're suggesting I shouldn't ask when December 25th is this year, or what the phone number for "911" is? <div class="Discussion_UserSignature"> .bipartisan (bī-pär'tĭ-zən, -sən) [Adj.] Maintaining the ability to blame republications when your stimulus plan proves to be a devastating failure.IMPEACH OBAMA! </div>

Posted by adrenalynn</DIV>Have you noticed that every year has the same twelve months in it & that every week has the same seven days contained within?? Mind you the number of the year changes, every year, going up one.
