Sunset after 1700 CST

[Buckocaster51]

Actually 1502 local.

31 minutes after the earliest sunset back in early December.

I can really notice it.

Soon we will set our clocks ahead one hour.

I was just thinking yesterday, walking down to the mailbox well after 5:00, it ain't close to dark yet. We've turned the corner.

It was light outside at 5 on Long Island too but we haven’t turned any corner I can see. Tomorrow will be frigid again. Snow is always a threat. It’s noticeably warmer by mid March. There are no flowers except for the crocuses on the first day of spring but that’s the end of when hell freezes over for me.

Sunset is 16:22 here today. My Dad’s birthday is 5 February: as my Mum always said, that was when you noticed the days were getting longer and the end of winter was in sight. Up in these latitudes that’s about when sunset is after 5pm - it’s a definite psychological tipping point.

My wife was just saying how nice it was that it was 17:00 and still light outside.

Sunset was at 17:29 today (5:29 PM for you 'Muricans).

Here in Knoxville, TN we gain a minute of light every day after the solstice.
Makes a huge difference when I try to play tennis after work. Right now sunset is in the 5:40's

Now I understand why you didn't move when you retired, you love the weather where you live!
