North Lake Tahoe Shortest Day of the Year | December 21, 2025

It’s here! Today is the shortest day of the year in the North Lake Tahoe, California area, Sunday, December 21, 2025!

Our days have been short of sunshine and darkness comes early. I miss our long sunny days!

Starting tomorrow, we will gain about two (2) additional minutes of daylight.

To most people, that doesn’t seem like such a big deal – two (2) extra minutes of sunshine a day! However, in thirty (30) days, that almost one (1) extra hour of sunshine, so yes, those two (2) extra minutes are important as we begin that march back towards the longest day of 2026, which will be Sunday, June 21, 2026 at 1:24 a.m.!

The seasons have changed, and while we await the first big snow storm of the season, it’s time to enjoy the last few days of 2025!
