Shortest day, longest night of the year is here

KAMLOOPS — It may feel more like springtime in Kamloops, but today marks the first of winter.

Winter solstice is at 2:30 p.m. in the Northern Hemisphere, meaning today is the shortest day and longest night of the year.

It won’t feel too much like winter in parts of the Southern Interior. Kamloops has a forecast high of 3 C today (Dec. 21), and chances are slim for a white Christmas this year.
