Outside Scoop: Winter Solstice
Special to the Daily
Today, Dec. 21 is the winter solstice. A solstice means that one of the Earth’s poles (either the North or South) has its maximum tilt away from the sun. When this occurs, here in the northern hemisphere today, we will have the shortest period of daylight and also the longest night of the year. Put on those pajamas early and use the long night to check out the stars. The winter solstice means the sun has the least amount of time to bring daylight to the Vail Valley.
