What is the winter solstice to bring to the West coast of North America

The Winter solstice, occurring on December 21st in the Northern Hemisphere, brings the shortest day and the longest night of the year. Specific changes associated with this event include the lowest position of the sun in the sky, marking the official start of winter, and the gradual lengthening of daylight hours following the solstice. It also holds cultural and spiritual significance for various traditions and is often celebrated with rituals, festivals, and gatherings.
