“Where Is Winter?”🥶 My Actifit Report Card: December 16 2025

“Where Is Winter?”😳
Brief moments of Sunshine, Silvertop will take all he can get, as we approach the Winter Solstice!😎
Plenty of firewood is stacked and ready, just in case Mother Nature decides to switch from a Winter of rain to snow Lol!🥶
I asked Chat GPT exactly when will we start getting more daylight?………………
“Silvertop December 21 at 7:03 AM Pacific Standard Time is the Winter Solstice, the shortest total daylight day.
But this a twist my friend!”
It actually turns out that the “Earliest Sunset” was back on December 7-8 ……..
We have already started to have Sunsets later each day since December 8!😇
The catch is that the “Latest Sunrise” won’t happen till December 31 to January 1st!😮
So even though we are already getting Sun later in the evening, we continue to loose morning daylight………….🤔
Confusing huh Lol!😇
After December 21, because of the Earth’s tilt, the total amount of daylight each day tends to wobble back and forth for a few days, before we ever so incrementally start to gain “Total Daylight Hours” each day!🙄
There you have it my friends…………
These daily small increments of Sunlight, each day, will bring us that much closer to Spring and Summer!
Are you ready?😎👍☺️
Till tomorrow Silvertop Mike 😊

The lack of sunlight can be truly overwhelming.
In my case, the mountains add an extra challenge. Even though sunset is officially around 3:45 PM, the sun disappears behind Mount Skrzyczne already at about 2:30 PM. From that moment on, we live in the shade until dusk.
Winter in the mountains has its own mood and beauty, but the short days and early loss of sunlight can really weigh on you — especially when every ray of sunshine matters.

The weather situation here is very similar — the firewood is stacked and ready, yet temperatures remain above freezing and there’s hardly any snow. Winter seems hesitant to fully arrive.

Thankfully we are almost at the winter solstice my friend!😇
You are so correct about the lack of sunlight can be overwhelming.... I've actually bought a light box, to simulate daylight it really helps on these extremely dark days!!😎

I am ready for summer, today was a really dark and rainy day!

The sun is finally out today my friend, hopefully it is down south by you as well!😎
These dark days take its toll on me, I so much prefer sunny weather!!!

Seasons running ever so fast, before you know it change happens. Photo across the fields looking at yonder mountains a lovely capture!

Thank you my friend hope you have a wonderful upcoming Christmas holiday!!🤗😀

Will be with family, should be memorable.

That's awesome my friend... we will be as well, have a wonderful time!!!🤗

Have a great one as well.

Thank you!😀👍

The solstice is coming up quick! Glad to see sunlight there and not rain. The last thing you need is more flooding!

Liz just texted me this morning from work to tell me the river is going down!!🤗👍
The river was over 80 feet this morning and rising all morning.....
This morning I see a big fireball in the sky so very nice!!😎

I'm ready! Yes, my friend, you have a huge store of firewood! I was wondering, and now my question was answered! That would last you quite a good while, and even more so after you harvest those two downed maples! 😁🙏💚✨🤙

I guess I have somewhat turned into a firewood hoarder Lol!!🤣
I actually metal stamp stainless steel washers with the current year and screw them to each pile so I can keep track of how long they have been cut and stacked!😇
I heard you're under the weather, hope you feel better soon sounds... like a nasty parasite!!

LOLOL!!! Mike, I've known a few hoarders, and if you're going to hoard anything, firewood is a very good choice! Wow, you're incredibly organized! That's a great idea! Thank you, my friend, and yes, I definitely wasn't feeling great for a few days, but I'm feeling almost entirely back to myself now, super thankfully. Yeah rat lungworm, of all the parasites, is a pretty bad one! I'm not a fan...lol! 😁🙏💚✨🤙

Glad to hear you're feeling better my friend!😀
Doesn't sound like any fun at all.......🙄
