4. That's strange. Here's what a search turned up for me:

Winter Solstice is on Thursday, December 21, 2017 at 8:27 am in Seattle. In terms of daylight, this day is 7 hours, 34 minutes shorter than on June Solstice.

This is my favorite day of them all! Slowly, 'We of the Light Deprived' in Northern Latitudes have HOPE again!

Kickipoo!

5. I, too, welcome the return of light!

I'm not as far North as you are, but days are awfully short here, as well.

7. I'm actually even North and West of Seattle! I can see Victoria B. C. ten miles away!

9. And we actually have sun in Seattle today!

I have lived here a long time and still get nuts during these incredibly short, dark days.

But this year it feels like a metaphor, and the fact that they’re about to get longer will, I hope, feel like a metaphor too. To better, warmer, lighter days!

10. Same here in Friday Harbor! 35 degrees and clear skies!

Yes! To better, lighter days! Cheers!

Gonna have to throw a big ole Yule Log on the fire tonight!
