Friday, Dec. 21 is technically the shortest day of the year.
It’s the Winter Solstice.
The winter season will officially begin at 5:23 p.m. on Friday. That’s when the northern hemisphere is at its maximum tilt away from the sun.
In western Pennsylvania, we will have approximately nine hours and 17 minutes of sunlight. Today is five hours and 47 minutes shorter than on the summer solstice (June 21).
Today marks 182 days until summer!
