Quite a bit of snow in the mix on the radar around Central VI. If you are driving today take care on the mountain passes. You might see some rain/snow mix particularly heavy rain could turn quickly to wet snow.
Winter Solstice occurred this morning at 01:20 PST.
Today is officially the shortest day of the year and the first day of Winter.
The sun rose this morning at 08:11:29 and will set at 16:23:52 so our exact daytime for this shortest day is 8h 12m 23s.
Stay dry out there! It's going to keep raining pretty much through Christmas! May have a storm coming on Sunday/Monday. I'll post an update before then.
@douglasvb@mastodon.social yep! She's got a long reach!
