After the Solstice

Has anyone noticed how much more daylight we have since the Solstice? 🤭
In Sweden we celebrated our extra SECOND of daylight by dancing in the street 🎉

@Degbeme I'll keep you informed. And it is way too cold to do anything outside.
Lilymoon · F
@Degbeme just for that I won't be getting off your lawn old man. 🤣

@Lilymoon Get off my snow, woman!

Actually, sunrise continues to happen later in the morning all thru December here in the northeast. I won't be able to detect the three extra seconds of day length until sunset!!

"since the solstice?" It's only been one or two days.
Sevendays · M
@tactical360 I know. 🤣
WillaKissing · 56-60, M
Yes, a one-minute increase daily!
Sevendays · M
@WillaKissing small steps.
WillaKissing · 56-60, M
@Sevendays But noticeable! LOL

Google's AI says:

One day after the winter solstice at 40 degrees north latitude, the length of day will increase by a very small amount, typically only a few minutes, with the increase becoming more noticeable in the days following as you move further away from the solstice.

We gain 2 minutes of daylight per day now.
