Since the first day of summer last June, each day has been approximately two minutes shorter than the day before it. But the losses stop this week. In case you missed the announcement, Friday, which is the first day of Winter, will also be the shortest day of the year. Now the good news: starting Saturday, we’ll have two minutes more of daylight each day until the first day of next summer.
