The second day of the year will be, for Whitewater, sunny with a high of twenty-nine. Sunrise is 7:25 and sunset 4:32, for 9h 07m 11s of daytime. The moon is a waning crescent with 46.7% of its visible disk illuminated.

On this day in 1863, Wisconsinites achieve victory for the Union, at a high price:

1863 – (Civil War) Final day of Battle of Stones River, Tennessee

This was the final day of the Battle of Stones River, near Murfreesboro, Tennessee. The 1st, 10th, 15th, 21st and 24th Wisconsin Infantry regiments and 3rd, 5th, 8th, and 10th Wisconsin Light Artillery batteries participated. The 21st was in the forefront all three days. The 24th lost nearly 40 percent of its men and almost all its officers. The two sides had traded control for three days until they both withdrew and the Union took possession of the field. The rich farmland meant to feed the Confederates now supplied the Union.
