Fairbanks gets ready for its Winter Solstice

Tomorrow in Fairbanks: day length only 3 hours and 45 minutes.  They lose a minute from today.  As do we here in upstate NY.


The webcam at the University of Alaska shows a snowy landscape, no sun visible today.  And, you can be 100% certain that Fairbanks will have a White Christmas.  Global warming or no global warming.



So, like all good cities should do, Fairbanks makes the most of their winter solstice with a celebration.

But for tomorrow, here are the official statistics.  As much as the extreme swings of day and night fascinate me, I'm glad this isn't here.
