We always lament this day as it reminds of WINTER as today is the summer solistice (longest day of the year) which sparks the inevitable march toward Winter culminating on 12/21(shortest day of the year)

Astronomical #summer begins at 3:50 PM CDT today with the #SummerSolstice! This marks when the sun shines directly on Tropic of Cancer & those in Northern Hemisphere experience longest day of the year. Nearly 15 hr, 14 min of daylight at our latitude. #solstice #ILwx #INwx (1/2) pic.twitter.com/V55YFJPcht
