Happy first day of winter 2020 2020-12-21 - Public Square, Columbia, KY - Photo by Linda Waggener, ColumbiaMagazine.com. Today, Monday, December 21, 2020 marks the official beginning of winter and the lengthening of daylight hours each day. This view of downtown is a rainy one but a few Christmas snowflakes may be coming our way as Christmas nears. The view is from Greensburg Street looking at traffic exiting and entering Campbellsville Street. The semi looks to be almost as big as the buildings.
