When is the very first day of winter in December 2008?
Also known as the winter solstice. Here are details: “The mid December solstice marks the beginning of winter in the Northern Hemisphere and summer in the Southern Hemisphere. In the Northern Hemisphere, the Winter Solstice occurs on December 21, 2008 at 7:04 AM EST and 12:04 UT (Universal Time). In the Southern Hemisphere, the Winter Solstice takes place on June 20, 2008 23:59 UT (Universal Time). While the beginning of summer marks the longest day of the year, the winter solstice brings the shortest day – and the longest night! – of the year.” Sources: http://www.chiff.com/home_life/holiday/winter-solstice.
