An analemma is a plot of the position of the Sun as viewed from a fixed position on Earth at the same clock time every day for an entire year.
The lowest point of the analemma occurs close to the winter solstice in the northern hemisphere.

Although we've officially been in winter mode here the past couple of weeks, the #mbstorm outlook for tonight into tomorrow will certainly make it a blizzard-y winter wonderland. Enough snow for plenty of snowballs but will be kinda cold for them to hold together very well as snow becomes more grainy or powdery the colder it gets.
At least @emmamckeon had some fun with them during her recent visit to Switzerland (she needed to wear her entire wardrobe to keep warm):

Zuckerberg has blown 77 billion – enough money to revitalize entire countries – on an idea so overwhelmingly, obviously stupid that I have never once heard anyone, from the Thanksgiving avuncular table to the most wretched depths of social media, say they liked it or even tried it. He was so sure that it would revolutionize the world that he renamed his extremely famous company after it. And now he's on to the next thing that he's so very, very sure about.
The world needs direction from sober people who aim to improve the human condition, not the whims of a handful of billionaire princelings who absolutely, positively cannot be dissuaded from failing at unprecedented scale while chasing their own vainglory off the edge of a cliff.
#PPOD: NASA’s Europa Clipper captured this image of a starfield — and the planet Uranus — on Nov. 5, 2025, while experimenting with one of its two stellar reference units. These star-tracking cameras are used for maintaining spacecraft orientation. Within the camera’s field of view — representing 0.1% of the whole sky around the spacecraft — Uranus is visible as a larger dot near the left side of the image. Credit: NASA/JPL-Caltech
