Northern Hemisphere Peeps-Have you noticed…

[MickM]

Finally! And yes I noticed.
Also, late tues/early wed looking at moon and a small point of fast moving light skittered across and just below the moon and got lost in some clouds. I'm guessing a satellite (not from Georgia). Then pretty much the same thing a few hours later.

 

[Dostradamas]

I notice when my phone moves an hour.

What is day light?

I am in the PNW so I know about grey light and wet light, as well as rust.

So .... if we had stayed on daylight saving time the sun would still be setting later everyday anyway?

 

[Jupiter]

I have not noticed it yet but somehow the dark mornings haven't started to get me down yet either; that doesn't kick in until January.

 

[MarkieMark]

All I can figger is it currently gets dark too early and light too early.

Maybe its just me.

Hear, hear.

Is the rain going to stop?!?!
I'm done. Had enough already.

I did not notice yet but eagerly await that relief.
My wife said we passed the shortest day but calendars all say it’s Dec 21, why the discrepancy?
Something todo with TikTok?

My wife (again) told me of meteor showers a couple of nights ago and I watched for them but wasn’t 100% certain my eyes didn’t make up the faint little streaks.
Supposed to be plenty though.

Unless you’re Einstein riding on a photon you cannot “stay” or even “save” WRT time.

Or something to do with hickory dickory.

I find that as I have started to see the other side of middle age, no season feels too long anymore; they seem to change at just about the right pace for me these days, or maybe even a bit too soon, even winter.

Okay, except for monsoon season. Monsoon season can s*ck it.

 

[telemnemonics]

Can't be. Not until the winter solstice. That's actual science.

Sounds to me as the OP was just setting folks up for a fight. Should report him to the moderators.

 

[Chuckster]

I've heard that the sunset is later or the same but the sunrise is later. How the heck does that work?

It's due to the curvature of the earth (that's what our local weather guy said).

 

[Ironwolf]

Yup, it's a minute later here every day or two, and the sun comes up later at a faster rate, so that the day is a little shorter. The pattern changes after the 21st.

 

[schmee]

In my fair city on Tuesday of this week sunset was at 1630 CST. Today it was 1631.

Anyway you cut it, the sun set later today.

Granted the total amount of daylight is shorter on the solstice. Sunset is at 1633 CST on the 21st

I did notice on the chart you linked that it varied a minute up and down over the month... or I didn't understand the chart... not sure I understand that though. Wobble?

 

[Flat6Driver]

I went to Maine a few weeks ago. Sun sets Real Early up there. Like 4 pm. THat was weird.

 

[Ironwolf]

Here, even at this time of year, the sun doesn't set until after 5pm.

 

[brindlepicker]

Unfortunately the warmth won’t return so fast.

My Dad always said “‘the old timers always said as the day begin to lengthen the cold begins to strengthen”.

Here in the American Southwest we'd gladly trade you some Grand Canyon for some of your monsoons. The Colorado River we drink from will be drying up monsoon enough.
