The sun set quite suddenly at 8:24 PM yesterday. The light faded, instantly; I looked at the clock. "The days are getting shorter," I said to my friend.
Daylight is already about two hours shorter than it was at the solstice. Now it's changing very fast, and will be two hours shorter still by the equinox. As of this moment, it can't be ignored. There will be darkness.
O noes.

yes, this is always the most shocking time of year for me: it is SO sudden.
Had no idea.
Here in North Texas we have started noticing subtle differences but nothing like this.
