Today at 17:11 UTC (12:11 EST) the Sun will be as far south as it can go, and we call that moment the winter solstice.

Winter for those of us on the northern hemisphere,
longer days are in sight 8)

7 1/2 minutes more day light a day for us.  with only 5 hours of light a day it is greatly appreciated.   Still 5 weeks until the sun returns to our valley.

We only gain just a little daylight for a few months.

If I'm not mistaken I think we will be getting about 2 minutes more of daylight/day after the winter solstice.

In a month's time that's a whole hour.  8)

The amount you gain depends on where you are. Farther south it's about 2 min., but north of 60 we gain 7 1/2 min every day until summer solstice when the sun never sets.

Seem like in my area we don't really gain much until March. Or maybe it just seems that way.

The equinox is when the amount of daylight changes the most each day. That's why we really notice it in March and September.
