Ha! Actual times today: sunrise 10:14, sunset 3:34, 5 hrs. 20 min. But as I said, it'll start getting longer on Friday - just seconds, but it's movement.
Frankly - wonderful! It's only "dark" for the same 5 hrs, 20 min or so. And that happens like between midnight and 5 am, and of course, the twilight means that it's only really dark dark for a couple hours. (Just checked, sunrise 4:11 am, sunset 11:46 pm) It's all good.
WOW! I would love that, but feel for the mommies who are trying to get the kids to sleep in broad daylight! I think I should be a summer resident and then in the winter live in AZ where they don't fall back. That would be perfect!
I spent a summer in northern Norway a gazillion years ago- I don't think I slept properly for 2 months (of course I was 19 years old and probably partying whenever it was light....)
Well, it's because it was dark! Should be good between the hours of 10 am and 3 pm here. That's - let's see - 2 pm to 7 pm Eastern time. We've had another 6-8" of snow today. Yikes, it's getting deep!
Oh, ha, ha! We actually had a couple of warm - in the 50's! - days this week. Today it's back to the mid-20's, much more normal. Lots of snow got melted/compacted though.
Bumping this up so you can see that while it looks lovely and sunny (and we have over 10 hours of daylight now! ) it's really below zero with 30-40 mph winds - brrrrrrr.
Ilene, it does change all the time. When you posted this morning, it likely was still dark here. We're 4 hours earlier than you, and it doesn't start to get light until close to 7 am here, 11 am your time.
