ADDED: Thanks to everyone in the comments who let me know I was displaying the 2024 solstice info. I've swapped in the right image. I don't think you could feel last night's event any more than you could feel the event that's 2 years in the future, but I'm not sorry I asked "Did you feel it?"
PLUS: It's still in the future. I'm only now seeing the "PM." For all my tracking of the sun and frequent thinking about the darkest day, I don't understand the concept that the solstice is at a particular minute. And why is it in the afternoon? I'd never noticed until now.

2024?
did i feel it? Winter Solstice 2024? No.. Not yet anyway
Umm... not quite yet
Umm... not quite yet.
Did I feel it? The 2024 solstice?
No. I did not.
I heard a strange high pitched chanting outside my window. Turned the flood lights on in the back yard. There was a coven of nine pussy hat wearing witches dancing around my flag pole. They had started a small fire and sacrificed a wild turkey.
I'm pretty sure they teach at the local high school.
Well, not until next year apparently.
Well, not until next year apparently. Or the year after.
I'm not following the question. The reference is to December 21, 2024.
Maybe next year.
I haven't felt anything in 2024 yet. Maybe tomorrow?
I was up at 5:45 and mentioned to my dog that today is the shortest day of the year. She replied, "I know. You tell me that every year on this day." So we went out to poop. First me, then her. And we came in and she made me breakfast.
She's a smart dog.
By the way, were you looking ahead to 2024, or did that just come up, somehow?
I don't understand the question. The reference is to December 21, 2024.
Well it isn't 2024 yet, so no.
That's two years from now
Not arriving until 4:47 ET this afternoon, as this is 2022, not 2024 :-)
Misinformation.
I missed it.
The coven dropped me from the e-mail list after they caught me dipping into the eye of newt and toe of fraud too often.
The only thing I feel is when the ocean temps dip below 65°F precluding anymore ocean fun until March when the vernal equinox signals the start of the warming of the North Atlantic off the Florida coast. Going to be 21°F here in Palatka along the river tomorrow night. I'm worried about my citrus trees and my blooming hibiscus.
2024?
By then, it will be the winter solstice for the US 35 days s year.
Unless some miracle happens
Can’t wait!!!
Did I feel it... next year?
I'm sure all of us look forward to the 2024 Winter Solstice.
I don't think I felt anything two years in the future, but I get your drift.
Republicans just passed a 1.7 billion dollar omnibus in a lame duck session.
The Republican senators who betrayed their own party include:
Blunt,
Boozman,
Capito,
Collins,
Cornyn,
Cotton,
Graham,
Grassley,
Hyde-Smith,
McConnell,
Moran,
Murkowski,
Portman,
Romney,
Rounds,
Rubio,
Shelby,
Thune,
Tuberville,
Wicker and
Young.
Every one of these people is dead to me.
Yeah that means Cotton.
There can be no trusting these people.
Did I feel the 2024 Winter Solstice? Not yet, no.
Saturday?
Yes, but this is 2022. It is coming this afternoon at 3:48 Central Time.
The Winter Solstice 2022 is a very significant event…celebrated by witches, satanic cults, environmentalists, atheists and liberals. Look at all that’s happening, pushing everyone in a destructive evil direction. For those that still have faith in freedom, equality, truth, and good vs evil…be thankful for Christmas and the birth of Jesus Christ. I know this all can be demoralizing and exhausting.
Evil is doing quite well this solstice. It manifests itself via the complacency and capitulation of a large percentage of the American public along with Western Europe, Canada, and Australia/New Zealand. The main motivation is self-preservation and the shallow comfort of tribal moral superiority.
*Zelensky is going to Washington today, right on the fucking solstice, to collect his multi-billion dollar check and help perpetuate the continuation of a global proxy war while Americans struggle to by eggs.
*America’s MSM continues to ignore that fact that the FBI and CIA infiltrated and paid social media companies to censor American citizens how were speaking truths. Scariest part is the the MSM is still treated by many as a legitimate source of information.
*The mRNA shots forced upon hundreds of millions of people is now proving to be poison, not just unsafe and ineffective. Those that bought into the lie are doubling down and still pushing it on children even though they have opted out of getting any further boosters.
*We know voter fraud is real we and pretend everything will be just fine when we are led by rulers who are no longer accountable to the people.
*Transgenderism is being forced and augmented to weaken and destroy Generation Z and today’s children.
*Pedophilia is being normalized by those in power and the education establishment whose task is to better the lives of children.
*The fake global warming / green agenda is still ramping up and will starve millions of people. People are being taught to worship the earth and tilt at carbon windmills so our elite can gain further control of our lives.
*In the last week it seems to have been accepted that the CIA took out JFK…nobody cares…and they continue to operate unchecked…and will destroy other leaders that defy their wishes.
*The border crises and exploitation of migrants continues. Fentanyl flows freely over the border weakening America.
*I could go on…but I think you get the point.
Merry Christmas Everyone.
Saturday ?
Rip Van Winkle?
Not quite
Winter solstice 2022 in Northern Hemisphere will be at 4:47 PM on
Wednesday, December 21
All times are in Eastern Time.
Yes.
Must be in Eastern Martian Timezone.
Funny, I just looked it up and it said 4:47PM. Where did you get your time?
Let me be the first to point out that you have posted the 2024 solstice, not 2022.
I hope Howard is right because if it was this morning I slept through it
I got an immediate correction but it still took me 3 hours to notice. That happens sometimes. I was out living in the real world. Not outside though. It's wind-chill -10° here in Madison. Winter is demanding to be experienced as truly, deeply winter.
I don't know about you guys, but I am feeling the short days and getting dark at 4:00, so I will be glad tomorrow when it is over.
The 2022 solstice is much closer, but that one hasn't happened yet either.
"Ï SURVIVED THE WINTER SOLSTICE OF 2022" sweatshirts, parkas, watch caps, and other paraphernalia will be available and on sale at 2149 hrs UTC, if the planet Earth still exists. With $20.00 extra for expedited shipping, your order should arrive in time for the mid to low 20's (F.) morning temperatures expected this weekend in deep south Texas. Thank You.
I will feel it as the days start to get longer. I really like shorter days and longer nights.
If you're watching the stars at the exact moment, you can see the next slide slipping into the projector. But I was in bed. I've seen it before.

I too am not a fan of it getting dark so early.
I want my money back.
Leon Russell... "Master of Space and Time" certainly would have. Easy Peasy!
I’m thankful it’s Winter Solstice. Tomorrow and every day thereafter will be that much sweeter as they will be that much lighter. No covens up here- it’s colder than a witch’s… you know.

We totally get it. Your dominated by you're inner bitch like every other catastrophising conspiracy dolt whom hasn't seen his own dick since the oughts. Happy Hanukkah, sweetie.
Got my free Hot Midnight coffee at Dunkin.
So yes.
I didn't feel it two years in the future, but I grokked it.
Tim.
About a minute a day til New years and then about 2 to 3 minutes a day. It will be more noticeable by mid January.

These teachers? Did they sacrifice the Entire Bottle? Was it a 5th? or a half Gallon?
The earth moved. Did it move for you?
Althouse: For all my tracking of the sun and frequent thinking about the darkest day, I don't understand the concept that the solstice is at a particular minute. And why is it in the afternoon? I'd never noticed until now.
It's not always in the afternoon. It varies from year to year, because the earth's orbit is not exactly 365 (or even exactly 365.25) days long.
And the solstice is not merely a particular minute - it's a literal point in time. It is when the earth's north pole is tilted directly away from the sun, to put it simply. A microsecond earlier or later, and the tilt is off by just a little bit.
For what it's worth, the summer solstice is when the north pole is tilted directly towards the sun. The spring and autumn equinoxes are when the tilt is exactly 90 degrees parallel to the sun.
The "particular minute" of the winter solstice would be the moment at which the South Pole of the Earth's rotational axis is as close as it ever gets to pointing at the Sun. Equivalently, from the Earth's perspective, it's the moment when the Sun is as far south as it ever gets.
-10 below wind chill in Madison? Must be windier there than up here in the Fox valley. I still get to work in that kind of weather and with light winds it's not all that bad. It's surprising what we humans can get used to. Of course, layers and modern winter wear help a lot.
I felt it!
"The earth moved. Did it move for you?"
How did Coleridge put it?
"As if this earth in fast thick pants were breathing"
Howard does a great service inadvertently. Whenever I find myself about to make some asshole comment, I think of him and stop typing. No one wants to be like that fucker.
A good day to work sunup until sundown. And to finish wrapping the last of approximately 30 Christmas presents. (Yes, the wife and I are grandparents. How did you guess?)
Troll Howard with another set of insults.
We totally get it. Your dominated by you're inner bitch like every other catastrophising conspiracy dolt whom hasn't seen his own dick since the oughts. Happy Hanukkah, sweetie.
Howard is certainly obsessed with "dicks." I wonder why ? It may be a hard thing to swallow.
Althouse: For all my tracking of the sun and frequent thinking about the darkest day, I don't understand the concept that the solstice is at a particular minute. And why is it in the afternoon? I'd never noticed until now.
You need to understand the concept of 'celestial coordinates'.
RIGHT ASCENSION & DECLINATION: CELESTIAL COORDINATES FOR BEGINNERS
The summer solstice is when the sun reaches its further excursion north, right? (Technically, it reaches its furthest point north of the celestial equator.) For the last 6 months its been traveling south on the celestial coordinate grid. It's got to turn around and head north again, right? And the winter solstice is the precise moment that happens.
"And why is it in the afternoon?"
It isn't always in the afternoon. In fact, it's not even in the afternoon this year if you live in London, or Sydney, or a lot of other places on the earth. In Sydney AU, it happened at 8:47 AM where we have taken into account that Sydney is currently under Daylight Savings Time. It was also tomorrow there when it happened. Wrap your head around that!
