(Undated) — Today is the winter solstice, the first day of winter and the shortest day of the year. Of course, today is 24 hours long, just like all the other days, but the sun will be up for no more than ten of those hours and a lot less the farther north you are. winter officially begins at 9:59 a.m. While the solstice marks the astronomical start of winter, meteorologists consider December 1st as the first day of winter, and the start of the coldest three months in the Northern Hemisphere.
Meanwhile, sunrise today is 7:12 am and sunset is 4:38 pm.
