Happy Winter Solstice as this, December 21st, marks the first day of winter—though, already, we have received 22 inches of snow here in the Big Bear Valley (and more atop the resorts). This morning’s Winter Solstice sunrise was at 6:45am and, as it is the shortest day of the year, sunset will be at 4:38pm, per KBHR’s weatherman Ben Brissey. The days will start getting longer tomorrow!
