"The days get shorter in the winter."
Actually winter begins on the shortest day of the year so the days are getting longer in the winter.
Plus, I'm pretty sure that days are always about 24 hours long ๐
Ok you silly pedant
Depends a lot on your definition of winter. In Scandinavia, winter is defined as starting December first.
I think what's meant by this is daylight and it's actually true up north.
Just a heads up. You might want to read the comment you're replying to.
They're saying winter starts on the shortest day (daylight wise I believe they mean), meaning any days after that must be longer.
Doh....
I meant re-read* as well. Didn't mean to sound like an ass sorry!
