The winter solstice occurred a few minutes ago at 0449GMT on 12/22/2016.
The sun reached its lowest (most southerly) position in the northern hemisphere and now will begin to arc across the sky at a higher (more northerly) track until June 21st.

According to the almanac, it’s the 20th-21st. Today’s daylight was 2 seconds longer than yesterday.

That always gets me. The cold dark days of winter are starting, but the days are getting lighter and longer.
Same thing when summer starts—— days get shorter!!

Day length is quasi sinusoidal. At the trough many nights are equivalent. Hope your solar array has a good battery bank and you keep your wicks trimmed and burning...
