These are the darkest days. The sun only starts to climb above the horizon around 7 a.m., rides low across the sky, and already is dipping out of sight as 4 p.m. draws near. Until the winter solstice, still eleven days away, the day will continue to shrink, making daylight seem a brief and precious dream.
