Yesterday was winter solstice here. We had about 9 hours of sun. Temps had been in single digits in the morning but warming up. But you know what I would rather have our cold then your heat. It seems easier to be warm than to cool off. When I lived in Florida I would say the weather at Christmas was more like the first Christmas (it worked for a while). But it all depends on your normal.
What a fantastic snow globe! Happy Summer Solstice - our Winter Solstice was at 04.19 this morning, so now I can get my head around the current time difference more easily having read this!
