Happy Winter Solstice Barrie!

The season arrived at 5:44 a.m. and that means the days will slowly start to get longer again.

Winter Solstice is the shortest day of the year with the fewest hours of daylight - 8 hours and 55 minutes compared to 15 hours and 26 minutes for Summer Solstice.

Forecast for today is a mix of sun and cloud, becoming cloudy near noon and the high plus 2.
