Are you ready for the changing of the season?

Most of the time, by now, I'm thinking that it's been winter for weeks already. But really, winter starts tomorrow. Everything up to now has only been autumn.

Here are the dates and times for the next few seasons...

WINTER SOLSTICE	December 22, 12:30 A.M. ES
SPRING EQUINOX	March 20, 1:14 A.M. EDT
SUMMER SOLSTICE	June 20, 7:09 P.M. EDT

According to www.almanac.com: The four seasons are determined by changing sunlight (not heat!)—which is determined by how our planet orbits the Sun and the tilt of its axis. The start of winter—the winter solstice—is the shortest day of the year, when the Sun reaches its most southern point in the sky at local noon. After this date, the days start getting longer.
