Florida’s 6-1-2 start through nine games is the second-best in franchise history, topped only by the 6-0-3 record to open the 1996-97 season. “We've been consistent in most games," Florida coach Joel Quenneville said.

The five Florida teams that went to the playoffs — 1995-96, 1996-97, 1999-2000, 2011-12 and 2015-16 — averaged 12 standings points through the season’s first nine games.

ROANOKE, Va. – The great thing about winter approaching is that colder air is no longer just at airplane level. That means ice crystals can form in clouds at many levels. When the sun’s light bends off those ice crystals, we oftentimes get beautiful sunrises and sunsets. Many of you saw that firsthand Wednesday morning, and we put a gallery together of your photos below:Full Screen 1 / 52 Michael Kline - Daleville

And this year Punxsutawney Phil declared: "Spring will be early, it's a certainty." Legend has it that if the creature casts a shadow on Feb. 2, winter will continue for six more weeks. From 2015 through 2019, he has predicted six more weeks of winter thrice and an early spring twice. Elsewhere, in New York City, Staten Island Chuck also predicted an early spring. The critter who resides at Staten Island Zoo groundhog also did not see his shadow.

As we get closer to the first day of winter each year, the sun’s direct rays inch closer to the Tropic of Capricorn (in the southern hemisphere). This means that the Arctic Circle has been tilted away from the sun over the past two months. Now that the sun’s rays are getting closer to the Equator, the Arctic Circle isn’t tilted as far from the sun. This allows them to see their first official sunrise since November 18, 2019. Daylight hours - 1/23/2020 to 4/1/2020In the coming weeks and months, this will increase (as it does every year).
