It's the winter solstice, lads- the shortest day of the year- so, come on- we got a lot to cram in!
ALL days are 24 hours long…except when daylight saving time starts. That day is only 23 hours long. Since at 2 A.M. it becomes 3 A.M. one hour is lost, making it the shortest day of the year. Then when daylight saving time ends…THAT day is 25 hours long, (at 2 A.M it becomes 1A.M. gaining one hour) the longest day of the year.
