The day has finally come. The shortest/Darkest day of the year. Especially for us here in Alaska. I am so happy, because that means starting tomorrow we slowly gain back the sunlight each and everyday.
So today we have 5 hrs 28 mins 4 seconds of sunlight in Anchorage... (Sunrise - 10:14am, Sunset - 3:41pm) What I think is amazing that in Delta Junction (near Fairbanks) where we use to live they are basking in 3 hrs, 41 mins of sunlight... (Sunrise - 10:59am, Sunset - 2:41pm) can you believe it.. 2 hour difference and they are just 300 miles north of anchorage. It really makes you realize how far on "TOP" of the world we are... On the Northern cost of Alaska, Barrow, they haven't seen the sun since Nov 18th and won't see it until Jan 23!!!!! And on Jan 23rd, they get a whole 1hr 15 mins of it!!!!!! Just thought I would share some fun Alaska Facts with you !!!!
Happy Solistice!!!!
